mm, slab: move memcg charging to post-alloc hook
Patch series "memcg_kmem hooks refactoring", v3.
This patch (of 2):
The MEMCG_KMEM integration with slab currently relies on two hooks during
allocation. memcg_slab_pre_alloc_hook() determines the objcg and charges
it, and memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook() assigns the objcg pointer to the
allocated object(s).
As Linus pointed out, this is unnecessarily complex. Failing to charge
due to memcg limits should be rare, so we can optimistically allocate the
object(s) and do the charging together with assigning the objcg pointer in
a single post_alloc hook. In the rare case the charging fails, we can
free the object(s) back.
This simplifies the code (no need to pass around the objcg pointer) and
potentially allows to separate charging from allocation in cases where
it's common that the allocation would be immediately freed, and the memcg
handling overhead could be saved.
