Linus Torvalds 0bcfe68b87 Revert "memcg: enable accounting for pollfd and select bits arrays"
This reverts commit b655843444.

Just like with the memcg lock accounting, the kernel test robot reports
a sizeable performance regression for this commit, and while it clearly
does the rigth thing in theory, we'll need to look at just how to avoid
or minimize the performance overhead of the memcg accounting.

People already have suggestions on how to do that, but it's "future
work".

So revert it for now.

[ Note: the first link below is for this same commit but a different
  commit ID, because it's the kernel test robot ended up noticing it in
  Andrew Morton's patch queue ]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
