This patchset tries to resolve the above two issues by introducing a
selectable memcg to limit the bpf memory. Currently we only allow to
select its ancestor to avoid breaking the memcg hierarchy further. 
Possible use cases of the selectable memcg as follows,
As discussed in the following thread, there are clear downsides to an
interface which requires the users to specify the cgroups directly.

So, I don't really think this is an interface we wanna go for. I was hoping
to hear more from memcg folks in the above thread. Maybe ping them in that
thread and continue there?
Ah, another thing. If the memcg accounting is breaking things right now, we
can easily introduce a memcg disable flag for bpf memory. That should help
alleviating the immediate breakage while we figure this out.

Thanks.
