What does this PR do?
Extends Docker check to provide Kernel Memory Usage Metric
Containers run under cgroups with kernel memory accounting enabled will consume kernel memory which needs to be tracked.
Motivation
Running Docker under CentOS 7 and hitting issues described in runc and Mesosphere DC/OS
Additional Notes
This metric will be zero under newer Docker (18.09) and CentOS 7 kernels. Running containers will memory limits (not kernel memory limits) under CentOS 7 with Docker 17.06 will account usage. Modern Docker on a modern kernel requires setting kernel memory limits when starting the container for this metric to take effect.
This is the Agent 6 implementation of DataDog/integrations-core#3339
