Make a kasan test which uses a SLAB_ACCOUNT slab cache.  If the test is
run within a non default memcg, then it uncovers the bug fixed by
"kasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects"[1].

If run without fix [1] it shows "Slab cache still has objects", and the
kmem_cache structure is leaked.
Here's an unpatched kernel test:
$ dmesg -c > /dev/null
$ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test
$ echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/test/tasks
$ modprobe test_kasan 2> /dev/null
$ dmesg | grep -B1 still
[ 123.456789] kasan test: memcg_accounted_kmem_cache allocate memcg accounted object
[ 124.456789] kmem_cache_destroy test_cache: Slab cache still has objects

Kernels with fix [1] don't have the "Slab cache still has objects"
warning or the underlying leak.

The new test runs and passes in the default (root) memcg, though in the
root memcg it won't uncover the problem fixed by [1].
