mm: memcg: separate slab stat accounting from objcg charge cache
Cgroup slab metrics are cached per-cpu the same way as the sub-page charge cache. However, the intertwined code to manage those dependent caches right now is quite difficult to follow. Specifically, cached slab stat updates occur in consume() if there was enough charge cache to satisfy the new object. If that fails, whole pages are reserved, and slab stats are updated when the remainder of those pages, after subtracting the size of the new slab object, are put into the charge cache. This already juggles a delicate mix of the object size, the page charge size, and the remainder to put into the byte cache. Doing slab accounting in this path as well is fragile, and has recently caused a bug where the input parameters between the two caches were mixed up. Refactor the consume() and refill() paths into unlocked and locked variants that only do charge caching. Then let the slab path manage its own lock section and open-code charging and accounting. This makes the slab stat cache subordinate to the charge cache: __refill_obj_stock() is called first to prepare it; __account_obj_stock() follows to hitch a ride. This results in a minor behavioral change: previously, a mismatching percpu stock would always be drained for the purpose of setting up slab account caching, even if there was no byte remainder to put into the charge cache. Now, the stock is left alone, and slab accounting takes the uncached path if there is a mismatch. This is exceedingly rare, and it was probably never worth draining the whole stock just to cache the slab stat update.
