kernel memory, we prevent new processes from being created when the kernel
memory usage is too high.
* slab pages: pages allocated by the SLAB or SLUB allocator are tracked. A copy
of each kmem_cache is created everytime the cache is touched by the first time
from inside the memcg. The creation is done lazily, so some objects can still be
skipped while the cache is being created. All objects in a slab page should
belong to the same memcg. This only fails to hold when a task is migrated to a
different memcg during the page allocation by the cache.
* sockets memory pressure: some sockets protocols have memory pressure
thresholds. The Memory Controller allows them to be controlled individually
per cgroup, instead of globally.
