If we have non-root memcg with use_hierarchy as 0 and this objcg was
reparented then this __memcg_kmem_uncharge() can potentially underflow
the page counter and give the same warning.

We never set root_mem_cgroup->objcg, so, no need to check for root
here. I think checking just memcg->use_hierarchy should be sufficient.
