mm: memcg/slab: use mem_cgroup_from_obj()
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.
