This should probably be

	cgroup_mems_allowed(struct cgroup *, int)

and then have a

	mem_cgroup_mems_allowed(struct mem_cgroup *, int)

that does the e_css translation, with the necessary dummy functions to
work with all CONFIG combinations.

You need a css_put() to drop the ref from cgroup_get_e_css(), but
otherwise accessing css should be safe this way.

AFAICS you need callback_lock to query cs->effective_mems.

This has appropriate memcg context from get_scan_count(), use that.

Make this take an lruvec, then pass lruvec_memcg() to can_demote().

shrink_lruvec() already has the lruvec.

kswapd_age_node() has to do the test from inside the memcg loop, since
demotion and thus aging now very much depends on each cgroup's policy.

MGLRU, so grain of salt, but that memcg looks appropriate for passing.

This also seems to have appropriate lruvec/memcg context.
