memcg: use static branches when code not in use

Browse Source 
We can use static branches to patch the code in or out when not used.

Because the _ACTIVE bit on kmem_accounted is only set after the increment
is done, we guarantee that the root memcg will always be selected for kmem
charges until all call sites are patched (see memcg_kmem_enabled).  This
guarantees that no mischarges are applied.

Static branch decrement happens when the last reference count from the
kmem accounting in memcg dies.  This will only happen when the charges
drop down to 0.

When that happens, we need to disable the static branch only on those
memcgs that enabled it.  To achieve this, we would be forced to complicate
the code by keeping track of which memcgs were the ones that actually
enabled limits, and which ones got it from its parents.

It is a lot simpler just to do static_key_slow_inc() on every child
that is accounted.
