This hunk doesn't look quite right.

static void memcg_account_kmem(struct mem_cgroup *memcg, int nr_pages)
{
	mod_memcg_state(memcg, MEMCG_KMEM, nr_pages);
	if (!cgroup_subsys_on_dfl(memory_cgrp_subsys)) {
		if (nr_pages > 0)
			page_counter_charge(&memcg->kmem, nr_pages);
		else
			page_counter_uncharge(&memcg->kmem, -nr_pages);
	}
}

Other than that, please add
