memcg: skip memcg kmem allocations in specified code regions
Create a mechanism that skip memcg allocations during certain pieces of
our core code. It basically works in the same way as
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable(): By marking a region under which all
allocations will be accounted to the root memcg.
We need this to prevent races in early cache creation, when we
allocate data using caches that are not necessarily created already.
