User can call select/poll system calls with a large number of assigned
file descriptors and force kernel to allocate up to several pages of memory
till end of these sleeping system calls. We have here long-living
unaccounted per-task allocations.

It makes sense to account for these allocations to restrict the host's
memory consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.
