Hao Li dccd5ee262 memcg: fix slab accounting in refill_obj_stock() trylock path
In the trylock path of refill_obj_stock(), mod_objcg_mlstate() should use
the real alloc/free bytes (i.e., nr_acct) for accounting, rather than
nr_bytes.

The user-visible impact is that the NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and
NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B stats can end up being incorrect.

For example, if a user allocates a 6144-byte object, then before this
fix efill_obj_stock() calls mod_objcg_mlstate(..., nr_bytes=2048), even
though it should account for 6144 bytes (i.e., nr_acct).

When the user later frees the same object with kfree(),
refill_obj_stock() calls mod_objcg_mlstate(..., nr_bytes=6144).  This
ends up adding 6144 to the stats, but it should be applying -6144
(i.e., nr_acct) since the object is being freed.
