Depending on CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and the THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE ratio
the space for task stacks can be allocated using __vmalloc_node_range(),
alloc_pages_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node(). In the first and the
second cases page->mem_cgroup pointer is set, but in the third it's
not: memcg membership of a slab page should be determined using the
memcg_from_slab_page() function, which looks at
page->slab_cache->memcg_params.memcg . In this case, using
mod_memcg_page_state() (as in account_kernel_stack()) is incorrect:
page->mem_cgroup pointer is NULL even for pages charged to a non-root
memory cgroup.

In order to fix it, let's introduce a mod_memcg_obj_state() helper,
which takes a pointer to a kernel object as a first argument, uses
mem_cgroup_from_obj() to get a RCU-protected memcg pointer and
calls mod_memcg_state(). It allows to handle all possible
configurations (CONFIG_VMAP_STACK and various THREAD_SIZE/PAGE_SIZE
values) without spilling any memcg/kmem specifics into fork.c .

The change looks good to me, but it sounds like this is a bug with
actual consequences to userspace. Can you elaborate on that in the
changelog please? Maybe add a Fixes: line, if applicable?
