OK, so the ENOMEM seems to be leaking from mem_cgroup_newpage_charge.
This can only happen if this was an atomic allocation request
(!__GFP_WAIT) or if oom is not allowed which is the case only for
transparent huge page allocation.
The first case can be excluded (in the clean 3.2 stable kernel) because
all callers of mem_cgroup_newpage_charge use GFP_KERNEL. The later one
should be OK because the page fault should fallback to a regular page if
THP allocation/charge fails.
[/me goes to double check]
Hmm do_huge_pmd_wp_page seems to charge a huge page and fails with
VM_FAULT_OOM without any fallback. We should do_huge_pmd_wp_page_fallback
instead. This has been fixed in 3.5-rc1 by 1f1d06c3 (thp, memcg: split
hugepage for memcg oom on cow) but it hasn't been backported to 3.2. The
patch applies to 3.2 without any further modifications. I didn't have
time to test it but if it helps you we should push this to the stable
tree.

Subject: [PATCH] thp, memcg: split hugepage for memcg oom on cow
On COW, a new hugepage is allocated and charged to the memcg. If the
system is oom or the charge to the memcg fails, however, the fault
handler will return VM_FAULT_OOM which results in an oom kill.
Instead, it's possible to fallback to splitting the hugepage so that the
COW results only in an order-0 page being allocated and charged to the
memcg which has a higher liklihood to succeed. This is expensive
because the hugepage must be split in the page fault handler, but it is
much better than unnecessarily oom killing a process.
