memcg: turn memcg_kmem_skip_account into a bit field

It isn't supposed to stack, so turn it into a bit-field to save 4 bytes on
the task_struct.

Also, remove the memcg_stop/resume_kmem_account helpers - it is clearer to
set/clear the flag inline.  Regarding the overwhelming comment to the
helpers, which is removed by this patch too, we already have a compact yet
accurate explanation in memcg_schedule_cache_create, no need in yet
another one.

- * During the creation a new cache, we need to disable our accounting mechanism

- * This is because that process will trigger allocations; some visible, like
- * explicit kmallocs to auxiliary data structures, name strings and internal
- * cache structures; some well concealed, like INIT_WORK() that can allocate
- * objects during debug.
- *
- * If any allocation happens during memcg_kmem_get_cache, we will recurse back
- * to it. This may not be a bounded recursion: since the first cache creation
- * failed to complete (waiting on the allocation), we'll just try to create the
- * cache again, failing at the same point.
- *
- * memcg_kmem_get_cache is prepared to abort after seeing a positive count of
- * memcg_kmem_skip_account. So we enclose anything that might allocate memory
- * inside the following two functions.
