Yup.  I turned it into a fix against
mm-workingset-per-cgroup-cache-thrash-detection.patch, which is where
the bug was added.  And I did the goto thing instead, so the final
result will be

void workingset_activation(struct page *page)
{
	struct lruvec *lruvec;

	lock_page_memcg(page);
	/*
	 * Filter non-memcg pages here, e.g. unmap can call
	 * mark_page_accessed() on VDSO pages.
	 *
	 * XXX: See workingset_refault() - this should return
	 * root_mem_cgroup even for !CONFIG_MEMCG.
	 */
	if (!mem_cgroup_disabled() && !page_memcg(page))
		goto out;
	lruvec = mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec(page_zone(page), page_memcg(page));
	atomic_long_inc(&lruvec->inactive_age);
out:
	unlock_page_memcg(page);
}
