Config is attached, KVM setup is just running virtme [1] on the git gree where I
compiled the kernel:

virtme-run --mods=auto --kdir /path/to/linux.git/

So there's only the cgroup the test creates, and the memry.stat::slab is zero
after alloc_dcache(). Although I can see by strace that it does all those
stat()'s. Also /proc/slabinfo also doesn't seem to be increasing number of
dentries. Could be that because root fs is 9p in virtme?
