Doesn't workingset_refault() call workingset_test_recent() under RCU?
Shouldn't this guarantee the validity of the memcg?

We should probably document that we are returning a memcg with a ref
on it, or change the name to put "get" and "memcg" in there somewhere.
Alternatively we could separate the function that gets the memcg from
the shadow (e.g. get_memcg_from_shadow or so).

I would also hold an RCU read lock here so that the call to
mem_cgroup_from_id() is valid. I know all callers currently do, but it
may change later. Alternatively we can add an assertion or a warning.
