Patch series "mm: improve performance of accounted kernel memory
allocations", v5.

This patchset improves the performance of accounted kernel memory
allocations by ~30% as measured by a micro-benchmark [1].  The benchmark
is very straightforward: 1M of 64 bytes-large kmalloc() allocations.

Below are results with the disabled kernel memory accounting, the original state
and with this patchset applied.

|             | Kmem disabled | Original | Patched |  Delta |
|-------------+---------------+----------+---------+--------|
| User cgroup |         29764 |    84548 |   59078 | -30.0% |
| Root cgroup |         29742 |    48342 |   31501 | -34.8% |

As we can see, the patchset removes the majority of the overhead when
there is no actual accounting (a task belongs to the root memory cgroup)
and almost halves the accounting overhead otherwise.

The main idea is to get rid of unnecessary memcg to objcg conversions and
switch to a scope-based protection of objcgs, which eliminates extra
operations with objcg reference counters under a rcu read lock.  More
details are provided in individual commit descriptions.


This patch (of 5):

Manually inline memcg_kmem_bypass() and active_memcg() to speed up
get_obj_cgroup_from_current() by avoiding duplicate in_task() checks and
active_memcg() readings.

Also add a likely() macro to __get_obj_cgroup_from_memcg():
obj_cgroup_tryget() should succeed at almost all times except a very
unlikely race with the memcg deletion path.
