memcg: int16_t for cached slab stats

Currently struct obj_stock_pcp stores cached slab stats in 'int' which is
4 bytes per counter on 64-bit machines.  Switch them to int16_t to shrink
the cached metadata.

The existing PAGE_SIZE flush in __account_obj_stock() bounds *bytes at
PAGE_SIZE on 4KiB and 16KiB page archs, well within int16_t.  On 64KiB
pages PAGE_SIZE is well above S16_MAX so that flush never fires, and a
sufficiently long run of accumulations would overflow the cache.  Add an
explicit S16_MAX guard before each add: when the next add would push
abs(*bytes) past S16_MAX, fold the cached value into @nr and flush
directly via mod_objcg_mlstate() before the accumulation.
