Thanks, I will test with fsnotify as module.

Do not worry. Andrew will change this to mem_cgroup_put(). Basically
mem_cgroup_put() was defined by still-in-review patch series by Roman.
There were build failure reports where someone was taking this series
either without Roman's series or applying series out of order.
