    memcg: fix kmem_account_flags check in memcg_can_account_kmem() · 1c98dd90

    We should start kmem accounting for a memory cgroup only after both its
    kmem limit is set (KMEM_ACCOUNTED_ACTIVE) and related call sites are
    patched (KMEM_ACCOUNTED_ACTIVATED).  Currently memcg_can_account_kmem()
    allows kmem accounting even if only one of the conditions is true.  Fix
    it.
    
    This means that a page might get charged by memcg_kmem_newpage_charge
    which would see its static key patched already but
    memcg_kmem_commit_charge would still see it unpatched and so the charge
    won't be committed.  The result would be charge inconsistency
    (page_cgroup not marked as PageCgroupUsed) and the charge would leak
    because __memcg_kmem_uncharge_pages would ignore it.
