Humm, I only look at headers to roughly gauge an API, and jump to the
definitions anyway when figuring out how to actually use them (because
of the documentation, and because function names can be deceiving).

But I don't mind adding the names, so I'll try to remember it.

Subject: [patch] mm: memcg: clean up mm_match_cgroup() signature

It really should return a boolean for match/no match.  And since it
takes a memcg, not a cgroup, fix that parameter name as well.
