Subject: [PATCH v2 1/7] memcg: reduce memory size of mem_cgroup_events_index

mem_cgroup_events_index is a translation table to get the right index of
the memcg relevant entry for the general vm_event_item. At the moment,
it is defined as integer array. However on a typical system the max
entry of vm_event_item (NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS) is 113, so we don't need to
use int as storage type of the array. For now just use int8_t as type
and add a BUILD_BUG_ON() and will switch to short once NR_VM_EVENT_ITEMS
touches 127.
