Yes, I also analyzed the perf-profile data, and made some layout changes
which could recover the changes from 69% to 40%.

And some of these are specific for network and may not be a universal
win, though I think the 'cgroup_subsys_state' could keep the
read-mostly 'parent' away from following written-mostly counters.
Btw, I tried your debug patch which compiled fail with 0Day's kbuild
system, but it did compile ok on my local machine.
