Add some tests to cover the kernel memory accounting functionality. These are covering some issues (and changes) we had recently. 1) A test which allocates a lot of negative dentries, checks memcg slab statistics, creates memory pressure by setting memory.max to some low value and checks that some number of slabs was reclaimed. 2) A test which covers side effects of memcg destruction: it creates and destroys a large number of sub-cgroups, each containing a multi-threaded workload which allocates and releases some kernel memory. Then it checks that the charge ans memory.stats do add up on the parent level. 3) A test which reads /proc/kpagecgroup and implicitly checks that it doesn't crash the system. 4) A test which spawns a large number of threads and checks that the kernel stacks accounting works as expected. 5) A test which checks that living charged slab objects are not preventing the memory cgroup from being released after being deleted by a user.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
