Series mm: skip memcg for certain address space | expand

Currently any page/folio added to an address space will be accounted by
memcg.

However this is not always true for certain address spaces.
One example is the address space of btrfs btree inode, which stores the
metadata of one btrfs.

Currently btrfs is using __GFP_NOFAIL for all operations touching that
address space, but this can has other problems as __GFP_NOFAIL can wait
infinitely until the request is met.

To avoid unnecessary memcg charge for the btree inode address space,
introduce a new flag, AS_NO_MEMCG, to inform that folios added to that
address space should not trigger memcg charge/uncharge, and add btrfs
btree inode to utilize that new flag.
