I'm sorry, but I've not been convinced yet why these checks are needed here.
(Those checks are removed by [9/12] anyway.)

IIUC, pc->mem_cgroup is moved to another group only by mem_cgroup_move_account
under lock_page_cgroup( and mz->lru_lock).
And those two above(mem_cgroup_move_lists and __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common) sets
mem = pc->mem_cgroup under lock_page_cgroup, so I don't think those checks
(mem != pc->mem_cgroup) is needed.


Thanks,
Daisuke Nishimura.
