I suspect we need to improve the per-cpu memcg stock usage here. Were
the updates mostly from uncharge path or charge path or that's
irrelevant?

I think doing full drain (i.e. drain_stock()) within __refill_stock()
when the local cache is larger than MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH is not best.
Rather we should always keep at least MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH for such
scenarios.

Do we need to align 'min' too?
