memcgroup: move memory controller allocations to their own slabs
Move the memory controller data structure page_cgroup to its own slab cache.
It saves space on the system, allocations are not necessarily pushed to order
of 2 and should provide performance benefits. Users who disable the memory
controller can also double check that the memory controller is not allocating
page_cgroup's.
NOTE: Hugh Dickins brought up the issue of whether we want to mark page_cgroup
as __GFP_MOVABLE or __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. I don't think there is an easy answer
at the moment. page_cgroup's are associated with user pages, they can be
reclaimed once the user page has been reclaimed, so it might make sense to
mark them as __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. For now, I am leaving the marking to default
values that the slab allocator uses.
