#define __is_kvfree_rcu_offset(offset) ((offset) < 4096)

It looks like commit 77070eeb8821 ("cgroup: Avoid false cacheline 
sharing of read mostly rstat_cpu") has caused the offset of rcu to 
exceed the 4096 limit under such configuration. After I move the rcu 
field up, the compilation error was gone. So any change that makes the 
cgroup structure larger is likely to cause this problem again. The 
simple fix is just to move the rcu field up. I will send a patch to do that.

Cheers,
Longman
