Maybe static and init?
+ static atomic_t mem_cgroup_num = ATOMIC_INIT(0);

Make this static?

Because value [0] is reserved, maybe this should be:
+struct mem_cgroup *mem_cgroups[CONFIG_MEM_CGROUP_MAX_GROUPS+1] __read_mostly;

I think we should move rcu_read_unlock() above to just before "if
(!css)" to unlock rcu when returning NULL.

Are css_id() values tightly packed?  If there are 4 memcg allocated, are
we guaranteed that all of their id's have value 1..4?
