Current code is not broken.

mem_cgroup_can_attach(....., task) need to do real job only when task->mm->owner
== task. In this modification, you pass a set of task at once.
So, mem_cgroup_can_attach() need to check _all_ tasks in tset rather than a
first task in tset. please scan and find mm->owner.

Anyway, if you merge this onto mm-tree first, I think I can have time to
write a fix up if complicated.

Thanks,
