Unix sockets can consume a significant amount of system memory, hence
they should be accounted to kmemcg.
Since unix socket buffers are always allocated from process context, all
we need to do to charge them to kmemcg is set __GFP_ACCOUNT in
sock->sk_allocation mask.

We never move memcg charges. E.g. if two processes from different
cgroups are sharing a memory region, each page will be charged to the
process which touched it first. Or if two processes are working with
the same directory tree, inodes and dentries will be charged to the
first user. The same is fair for unix socket buffers - they will be
charged to the sender.

I ran netperf STREAM_STREAM with default options in a kmemcg on a 4 core
x2 HT box. The results are below:
# clients bandwidth (10^6bits/sec)
base patched
1 67643 +- 725 64874 +- 353 - 4.0 %
4 193585 +- 2516 186715 +- 1460 - 3.5 %
8 194820 +- 377 187443 +- 1229 - 3.7 %
So the accounting doesn't come for free - it takes ~4% of performance.
I believe we could optimize it by using per cpu batching not only on
charge, but also on uncharge in memcg core, but that's beyond the scope
of this patch set - I'll take a look at this later.
Anyway, if performance impact is found to be unacceptable, it is always
possible to disable kmem accounting at boot time (cgroup.memory=nokmem)
or not use memory cgroups at runtime at all (thanks to jump labels
there'll be no overhead even if they are compiled in).
