I need to copy memcg_data to mark a page as being accounted so it won't
be charged again when it is added to page cache.

What happens here is that I allocate a large page and then use it as a
local cache for allocations in secretmem_fault(). I charge the large
page as kmem. 

During secretmem_fault() a small sub-page from that large page goes into
page cache and there I skip its memcg accounting.

In the end, when the large page is freed, the memcg_data for all its
sub-pages is cleared and I uncharge memcg with the order of large page.

An alternative would be to uncharge a small page from kmem in
secretmem_fault() and make this page charged in add_to_page_cache(), but
that would complicate the release path as I would need to re-charge the
small page back to kmem at secretmem_freepage() and track all the
participating memcgs till the large page is freed.

Hmm, that's probably won't be accurate :-/
