Yes, I thought about combining memcg and per-node counters but got
worried that the cached stacks for CONFIG_VMAP_STACK would not be
accounted for in the per-node global counters but I see that we
already don't account for them in both counters. I will further
simplify these. Thanks for the suggestion.
