    ms/ipc: remove memcg accounting for sops objects in do_semtimedop()
    
    Linus proposes to revert an accounting for sops objects in
    do_semtimedop() because it's really just a temporary buffer
    for a single semtimedop() system call.
    
    This object can consume up to 2 pages, syscall is sleeping one,
    size and duration can be controlled by user, and this allocation
    can be repeated by many thread at the same time.
    
    However Shakeel Butt pointed that there are much more popular objects
    with the same life time and similar memory consumption, the accounting
    of which was decided to be rejected for performance reasons.
    
    In addition, any usual task consumes much more accounted memory,
    so 2 pages of this temporal buffer can be safely ignored.
