Precedence: bulk

With allocation fastpaths no longer divided between two .c files, we
have better inlining, however checking the disassembly of
kmem_cache_alloc() reveals we can do better to make the fastpaths
smaller and move the less common situations out of line or to separate
functions, to reduce instruction cache pressure.

- split memcg pre/post alloc hooks to inlined checks that use likely()
  to assume there will be no objcg handling necessary, and non-inline
  functions doing the actual handling

- add some more likely/unlikely() to pre/post alloc hooks to indicate
  which scenarios should be out of line

- change gfp_allowed_mask handling in slab_post_alloc_hook() so the
  code can be optimized away when kasan/kmsan/kmemleak is configured out

Note that gcc still decided to inline __memcg_pre_alloc_hook(), but the
code is out of line. Forcing noinline did not improve the results. As a
result the fastpaths are shorter and overal code size is reduced.
