Could you please elaborate with more details?
It seems to me mem_cgroup_from_obj() does everything exactly as you say:
- for slab objects it returns memcg taken from according slab->memcg_data
- for ex-slab objects (i.e. page->memcg_data & MEMCG_DATA_OBJCGS)
    page_memcg_check() returns NULL
- for kmem objects (i.e. page->memcg_data & MEMCG_DATA_KMEM) 
    page_memcg_check() returns objcg->memcg
- in another cases
    page_memcg_check() returns page->memcg_data,
    so for uncharged objects like init_net NULL should be returned.

I can introduce exported get_mem_cgroup_from_kmem(), however it should only
call mem_cgroup_from_obj(), perhaps under read_rcu_lock/unlock.

Do you mean something like this?
