The kvmalloc* allocation functions can fallback to vmalloc allocations and more often on long running machines. In addition the kernel does have __GFP_ACCOUNT kvmalloc* calls. So, often on long running machines, the memory.stat does not tell the complete picture which type of memory is charged to the memcg. So add a per-memcg vmalloc stat.

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.
