memcg: fix kmem_account_flags check in memcg_can_account_kmem() 

We should start kmem accounting for a memory cgroup only after both its
kmem limit is set (KMEM_ACCOUNTED_ACTIVE) and related call sites are
patched (KMEM_ACCOUNTED_ACTIVATED).  Currently memcg_can_account_kmem()
allows kmem accounting even if only one of the conditions is true.  Fix
it.

This means that a page might get charged by memcg_kmem_newpage_charge
which would see its static key patched already but
memcg_kmem_commit_charge would still see it unpatched and so the charge
won't be committed.  The result would be charge inconsistency
(page_cgroup not marked as PageCgroupUsed) and the charge would leak
because __memcg_kmem_uncharge_pages would ignore it.
