Martijn Coenen 5bb91ab553 Don't use mem cgroups for pid accounting.
Commit b82bab66 introduced the use of memory cgroups for keeping track
of forked PIDs; it basically creates a separate memory cgroup for every
process forked from zygote.

Each such memory cgroup which also have its own LRU with (in)active file
and anonymous pages. The current theory is this could potentially introduce
two problems:
1) kswapd runs longer because it has to iterate over the LRUs of all mem
cgroups, instead of over the LRUs of a single root mem cgroup;
2) the way kswapd reclaims things will be different also - I think it will
tend to bias reclaim to smaller mem cgroups, and process private pages
will end up on ZRAM swap much sooner.

Until we figure this out, fall back to the CPU accounting cgroup for keeping
track of forked PIDs. This leaves us with a single root mem cgroup again. We
can also keep userspace lmkd enabled because it only requires the root mem
cgroup.
