wireguard: peer: allocate in kmem_cache
With deployments having upwards of 600k peers now, this somewhat heavy structure could benefit from more fine-grained allocations. Specifically, instead of using a 2048-byte slab for a 1544-byte object, we can now use 1544-byte objects directly, thus saving almost 25% per-peer, or with 600k peers, that's a savings of 303 MiB. This also makes wireguard's memory usage more transparent in tools like slabtop and /proc/slabinfo.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
