Uh, Consider there are no problem for long time, it could be saved.

If !memcg, the root_mem_cgroup will still lead the lruvec to a pgdat
same as parameter.

Right. remove 'goto' is better for understander.

So, is the following patch ok?

Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/memcg: bail out early when !memcg in mem_cgroup_lruvec

Sometime, we use NULL memcg in mem_cgroup_lruvec(memcg, pgdat)
so we could get out early in the situation to avoid useless checking.

Polished as Andrew Morton's suggestion.
