This reverts commit f22980954a2d765ca6ca03c11b2eac8f3fe1d105.

This commit is deadly broken - it frees pages allocated with
alloc_kmem_pages using put_page instead of free_kmem_pages. As a result,
kmem counter of the cgroup the page is charged to won't be uncharged and
therefore will be leaked. What is worse, if such a page then gets reused
for a thread info or slab page, there is a chance that the order of the
new page will be greater than it used to be, as a result the
mem_cgroup->kmem counter can be under-uncharged:

This will probably eventually lead to the cgroup being freed when there
are still active objects in one or more of its kmem caches:

  BUG buffer_head(39:101) (Tainted: G        W   --------------  ): Objects remaining in buffer_head(39:101) on kmem_cache_close()

  kernel BUG at mm/slab_common.c:493!

This patch therefore reverts the above mentioned commit. We will rework
it later.
