Hi Kame,

For no reason, it should be removed. I never noticed this because 1)
This is the kind of thing testing will never reveal, and 2), this
actually goes away in a later patch (memcg: propagate kmem limiting
information to children)

In any case, I will update my tree here.

Thanks for spotting this
