commit 3754707bcc3e190e5dadc978d172b61e809cb3bd

    Revert "memcg: enable accounting for file lock caches"
    
    This reverts commit 0f12156dff2862ac54235fc72703f18770769042.
    
    The kernel test robot reports a sizeable performance regression for this
    commit, and while it clearly does the rigth thing in theory, we'll need
    to look at just how to avoid or minimize the performance overhead of the
    memcg accounting.
    
    People already have suggestions on how to do that, but it's "future
    work".
    
    So revert it for now.
