Currently memcg stats show several types of kernel memory: kernel stack,
page tables, sock, vmalloc, and slab.  However, there are other
allocations with __GFP_ACCOUNT (or supersets such as GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT)
that are not accounted in any of those stats, a few examples are:

 - various kvm allocations (e.g. allocated pages to create vcpus)
 - io_uring
 - tmp_page in pipes during pipe_write()
 - bpf ringbuffers
 - unix sockets

Keeping track of the total kernel memory is essential for the ease of
migration from cgroup v1 to v2 as there are large discrepancies between
v1's kmem.usage_in_bytes and the sum of the available kernel memory
stats in v2.  Adding separate memcg stats for all __GFP_ACCOUNT kernel
allocations is an impractical maintenance burden as there a lot of those
all over the kernel code, with more use cases likely to show up in the
future.

Therefore, add a "kernel" memcg stat that is analogous to kmem page
counter, with added benefits such as using rstat infrastructure which
aggregates stats more efficiently.  Additionally, this provides a
lighter alternative in case the legacy kmem is deprecated in the future
