Johannes Weiner 1306a85aed mm: embed the memcg pointer directly into struct page
Memory cgroups used to have 5 per-page pointers.  To allow users to
disable that amount of overhead during runtime, those pointers were
allocated in a separate array, with a translation layer between them and
struct page.

There is now only one page pointer remaining: the memcg pointer, that
indicates which cgroup the page is associated with when charged.  The
complexity of runtime allocation and the runtime translation overhead is
no longer justified to save that *potential* 0.19% of memory.  With
CONFIG_SLUB, page->mem_cgroup actually sits in the doubleword padding
after the page->private member and doesn't even increase struct page,
and then this patch actually saves space.  Remaining users that care can
still compile their kernels without CONFIG_MEMCG.
