[Devel] [PATCH v7 2/2] decrement static keys on real destroy time

We call the destroy function when a cgroup starts to be removed,
such as by a rmdir event.

However, because of our reference counters, some objects are still
inflight. Right now, we are decrementing the static_keys at destroy()
time, meaning that if we get rid of the last static_key reference,
some objects will still have charges, but the code to properly
uncharge them won't be run.

This becomes a problem specially if it is ever enabled again, because
now new charges will be added to the staled charges making keeping
it pretty much impossible.

We just need to be careful with the static branch activation:
since there is no particular preferred order of their activation,
we need to make sure that we only start using it after all
call sites are active. This is achieved by having a per-memcg
flag that is only updated after static_key_slow_inc() returns.
At this time, we are sure all sites are active.

This is made per-memcg, not global, for a reason:
it also has the effect of making socket accounting more
consistent. The first memcg to be limited will trigger static_key()
activation, therefore, accounting. But all the others will then be
accounted no matter what. After this patch, only limited memcgs
will have its sockets accounted.

[v2: changed a tcp limited flag for a generic proto limited flag ]
[v3: update the current active flag only after the static_key update ]
[v4: disarm_static_keys() inside free_work ]
[v5: got rid of tcp_limit_mutex, now in the static_key interface ]
[v6: changed active and activated to a flags field, as suggested by akpm ]
[v7: merged more comments from akpm ]
