mainlining shenanigans

Sometimes we need to get a memcg pointer from a charged kernel object. The right way to get it depends on whether it's a proper slab object or it's backed by raw pages (e.g. it's a vmalloc alloction). In the first case the kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg indirection should be used; in other cases it's just page->mem_cgroup. To simplify this task and hide the implementation details let's use the mem_cgroup_from_obj() helper, which takes a pointer to any kernel object and returns a valid memcg pointer or NULL. Passing a kernel address rather than a pointer to a page will allow to use this helper for per-object (rather than per-page) tracked objects in the future. The caller is still responsible to ensure that the returned memcg isn't going away underneath: take the rcu read lock, cgroup mutex etc; depending on the context. mem_cgroup_from_kmem() defined in mm/list_lru.c is now obsolete and can be removed.

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.
