The difference is not big, e.g.
  mod_lruvec_state(lruvec, WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE_BASE + type, delta);
could be
  __count_memcg_events(
    container_of(lruvec, struct mem_cgroup_per_node, lruvec)->memcg,
    WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE_BASE + type, delta
  );

Yes, it would mean transferring WORKINGSET_* items from enum
node_stat_item to enum vm_event_item.
IOW, I don't know what is the effective difference between
mod_memcg_lruvec_state() and count_memcg_events().
Is it per-memcg vs per-memcg-per-node resolution?
(Is _that_ read by workingset mechanism?)

Thanks,
Michal
