Switch to a scope-based protection of the objcg pointer on slab/kmem allocation paths. Instead of using the get_() semantics in the pre-allocation hook and put the reference afterwards, let's rely on the fact that objcg is pinned by the scope. It's possible because: 1) if the objcg is received from the current task struct, the task is keeping a reference to the objcg. 2) if the objcg is received from an active memcg (remote charging), the memcg is pinned by the scope and has a reference to the corresponding objcg.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
