Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 4/7] per-cgroup tcp buffers control

We can't change net.ipv4.tcp_mem if a cgroup with memory controller 
isn't mounted.

[root@...p-10-30-20-19 ~]# sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_mem="3 2 3"
error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.ipv4.tcp_mem"

It's because tcp_max_memory is initialized in mem_cgroup_populate:

mem_cgroup_populate->register_kmem_files->sockets_populate->tcp_init_cgroup
