This stuff looks really rather horrible,
Relying on these cgroup functions returning 0 seems fragile, some of
them can really be 0. Also sprinkling all that if cgroup foo all over
the place leads to these ugly indentation problems you have.
How about pulling all these things into separate functions, and using a
proper mem_cgroup_has_dirty() function to select on?
