kernfs: do not account ino_ida allocations to memcg

Browse source 
root->ino_ida is used for kernfs inode number allocations. Since IDA has
a layered structure, different IDs can reside on the same layer, which
is currently accounted to some memory cgroup. The problem is that each
kmem cache of a memory cgroup has its own directory on sysfs (under
/sys/fs/kernel/<cache-name>/cgroup). If the inode number of such a
directory or any file in it gets allocated from a layer accounted to the
cgroup which the cache is created for, the cgroup will get pinned for
good, because one has to free all kmem allocations accounted to a cgroup
in order to release it and destroy all its kmem caches. That said we
must not account layers of ino_ida to any memory cgroup.

Since per net init operations may create new sysfs entries directly
(e.g. lo device) or indirectly (nf_conntrack creates a new kmem cache
per each namespace, which, in turn, creates new sysfs entries), an easy
way to reproduce this issue is by creating network namespace(s) from
inside a kmem-active memory cgroup.
