mm: memcg: get number of pages on the LRU list in memcgroup base on lru_zone_size

mm: memcg: get number of pages on the LRU list in memcgroup base on lru_zone_size

Commit 6812b5f8996af ("mm: memcontrol: replace zone summing with
lruvec_page_state()") has made lruvec_page_state to use per-cpu counters
instead of calculating it directly from lru_zone_size with an idea that
this would be more effective.

Tim has reported that this is not really the case for their database
benchmark which is showing an opposite results where lruvec_page_state
is taking up a huge chunk of CPU cycles (about 25% of the system time
which is roughly 7% of total cpu cycles) on 5.3 kernels.  The workload
is running on a larger machine (96cpus), it has many cgroups (500) and
it is heavily direct reclaim bound.

: The problem can also be reproduced by running simple multi-threaded
: pmbench benchmark with a fast Optane SSD swap (see profile below).

The likely culprit is the cache traffic the lruvec_page_state_local
generates.  Dave Hansen says:

: I was thinking purely of the cache footprint.  If it's reading
: pn->lruvec_stat_local->count[idx] is three separate cachelines, so 192
: bytes of cache *96 CPUs = 18k of data, mostly read-only.  1 cgroup would
: be 18k of data for the whole system and the caching would be pretty
: efficient and all 18k would probably survive a tight page fault loop in
: the L1.  500 cgroups would be ~90k of data per CPU thread which doesn't
: fit in the L1 and probably wouldn't survive a tight page fault loop if
: both logical threads were banging on different cgroups.
:
: It's just a theory, but it's why I noted the number of cgroups when I
: initially saw this show up in profiles

Fix the regression by partially reverting the said commit and calculate
the lru size explicitly.
