From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx>
In certain scenarios alloc_bulk() migth be taking free objects mainly from
free_by_rcu_ttrace list. In such case get_memcg() and set_active_memcg() are
redundant, but they show up in perf profile. Split the loop and only set memcg
when allocating from slab. No performance difference in this patch alone, but
it helps in combination with further patches.
