mm/memcg: use kmem_cache when alloc memcg pernode info
When tracing mem_cgroup_per_node allocations with kmalloc ftrace: kmalloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1d8/0x5b4 ptr=00000000d798700c bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=4096 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0 accounted=false This reveals the slab allocator provides 4096B chunks for 2896B mem_cgroup_per_node due to: 1. The slab allocator predefines bucket sizes from 64B to 8096B 2. The mem_cgroup allocation size (2312B) falls between the 2KB and 4KB slabs 3. The allocator rounds up to the nearest larger slab (4KB), resulting in ~1KB wasted memory per memcg alloc - per node. This patch introduces a dedicated kmem_cache for mem_cgroup structs, achieving precise memory allocation. Post-patch ftrace verification shows: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1b8/0x5d4 ptr=000000002989e63a bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=2944 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0 accounted=false Each mem_cgroup_per_node alloc 2944bytes(include hw cacheline align), compare to 4096, it avoid waste.
