Subject: Re: [PATCH v8 2/6] memcontrol: implement mem_cgroup_tryget_online()

Hi Nhat,

Very minor nitpick. This patch can fold with the later patch that uses
it. That makes the review easier, no need to cross reference different
patches. It will also make it harder to introduce API that nobody
uses.
