Don't we need to check for overflow here?

Ditto

I think #ifdef inside the print_page_owner_memcg() functions will be
simpler and clearer.

ret can go over count here.
Why not make print_page_owner_memcg() an int so that the call will be
consistent with other calls in print_page_owner():

	ret += print_page_owner_memcg(kbuf, count, page);
	if (ret >= count)
		goto err;
