memcg: enable accounting for tty-related objects
At each login the user forces the kernel to create a new terminal and
allocate up to ~1Kb memory for the tty-related structures.
By default it's allowed to create up to 4096 ptys with 1024 reserve for
initial mount namespace only and the settings are controlled by host
admin.
Though this default is not enough for hosters with thousands of
containers per node. Host admin can be forced to increase it up to
NR_UNIX98_PTY_MAX = 1<<20.
By default container is restricted by pty mount_opt.max = 1024, but
admin inside container can change it via remount. As a result, one
container can consume almost all allowed ptys and allocate up to 1Gb of
unaccounted memory.
It is not enough per-se to trigger OOM on host, however anyway, it
allows to significantly exceed the assigned memcg limit and leads to
troubles on the over-committed node.
It makes sense to account for them to restrict the host's memory
consumption from inside the memcg-limited container.
