Subject: memcg: only check memcg_kmem_skip_account in __memcg_kmem_get_cache
__memcg_kmem_get_cache can recurse if it calls kmalloc (which it does if
the cgroup's kmem cache doesn't exist), because kmalloc may call
__memcg_kmem_get_cache internally again. To avoid the recursion, we use
the task_struct->memcg_kmem_skip_account flag.
However, there's no need checking the flag in memcg_kmem_newpage_charge,
because there's no way how this function could result in recursion, if
called from memcg_kmem_get_cache. So let's remove the redundant code.

- * outside memcg core. We are mostly concerned with cache allocations,

- *
- * There is one exception, though: the SLUB allocator does not create
- * large order caches, but rather service large kmallocs directly from
- * the page allocator. Therefore, the following sequence when backed by
- * the SLUB allocator:
- *
- * memcg_stop_kmem_account();
- * kmalloc(<large_number>)
- * memcg_resume_kmem_account();
- *
- * would effectively ignore the fact that we should skip accounting,
- * since it will drive us directly to this function without passing
- * through the cache selector memcg_kmem_get_cache. Such large
- * allocations are extremely rare but can happen, for instance, for the
