I get a few build errors, perhaps because of patch timing issues...

How many callsites do we expect to utilize the new `online' argument? 
Few, I suspect.

How about we fix the above and simplify the patch by adding a new
mem_cgroup_iter_online() and make mem_cgroup_iter() a one-line wrapper
which calls that and adds the online=false argument?

I also saw this, didn't investigate.
