Is there any reason to using css rather than mem_cgroup other than the
structure is not visible outside of memcontrol.c? Because I have a
patchset which exports it. It is not merged yet so a move to mem_cgroup
could be done later. I am just interested whether there is a stronger
reason.

Hmm. Why EINVAL? I can see only mm/backing-dev.c (in
review-cgroup-writeback-switch-20150528 branch) which uses it and that
shouldn't even try to compile if !CONFIG_MEMCG no? Otherwise we would
simply blow up.
