mm: Convert page kmemcg type to a page memcg flag



PageKmemcg flag is currently defined as a page type (like buddy, offline,
table and guard).  Semantically it means that the page was accounted as a
kernel memory by the page allocator and has to be uncharged on the
release.

As a side effect of defining the flag as a page type, the accounted page
can't be mapped to userspace (look at page_has_type() and comments above).
In particular, this blocks the accounting of vmalloc-backed memory used
by some bpf maps, because these maps do map the memory to userspace.

One option is to fix it by complicating the access to page->mapcount,
which provides some free bits for page->page_type.

But it's way better to move this flag into page->memcg_data flags.
Indeed, the flag makes no sense without enabled memory cgroups and memory
cgroup pointer set in particular.

This commit replaces PageKmemcg() and __SetPageKmemcg() with
PageMemcgKmem() and an open-coded OR operation setting the memcg pointer
with the MEMCG_DATA_KMEM bit.  __ClearPageKmemcg() can be simple deleted,
as the whole memcg_data is zeroed at once.

As a bonus, on !CONFIG_MEMCG build the PageMemcgKmem() check will be
compiled out.
