Hi!

This gets the buckets able to handle memcg (GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT) with
isolation (since it's common due to AF_UNIX), and GFP_DMA with fall back
(since it's rare). It gave me an excuse to build out bucket kunit tests
too, and that (and LLM review) found a couple other issues that needed
fixing too.

The bulk of this is mm/slab, but the final patch is netdev, which Paolo
acked in v4, so I'm hoping this whole series can go via slab?

Thanks!

 v5:
 - 2/7: kmem_buckets_create() and kmem_buckets_create_types() take an
   alignment, where kmem_cache_create() has it; 0 keeps v4's behaviour,
   the alignment of the kmalloc cache being mirrored. All callers pass 0.
   New subject: "mm/slab: Let kmem_buckets_create() take an alignment"
   (Harry)
 - 4/7: test that an explicit alignment is honored.
 - 5/7: export mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled() for KUnit only, fixing a
   modular build of slub_kunit (Harry).
 - 6/7: commit log shows the per-set cost of indexing rows by
   kmalloc_cache_type; test that an explicit alignment reaches the
   accounted row too.
 - 7/7: pass the new alignment argument.
 - Collected tags on 1/7 (Harry, Pedro, Hao) and 7/7 (Paolo).
