You're right! I missed that the memcg_pre_alloc_hook() already does the
charging, so we need to uncharge. How does this look? Thanks for noticing!

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm/slub: introduce __kmem_cache_free_bulk() without free
 hooks

Currently, when __kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() fails, it frees back the
objects that were allocated before the failure, using
kmem_cache_free_bulk(). Because kmem_cache_free_bulk() calls the free
hooks (KASAN etc.) and those expect objects that were processed by the
post alloc hooks, slab_post_alloc_hook() is called before
kmem_cache_free_bulk().

This is wasteful, although not a big concern in practice for the rare
error path. But in order to efficiently handle percpu array batch refill
and free in the near future, we will also need a variant of
kmem_cache_free_bulk() that avoids the free hooks. So introduce it now
and use it for the failure path.

In case of failure we however still need to perform memcg uncharge so
handle that in a new memcg_slab_alloc_error_hook(). Thanks to Chengming
Zhou for noticing the missing uncharge.

As a consequence, __kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() no longer needs the objcg
parameter, remove it.
