What about statistics? Should it be accounted towards "sock", "slab/kmem" or deserves
a separate counter? Do we plan to eventually have shrinkers for this type of memory?

Two functions above do not contain anything network-related,
except the MEMCG_DATA_SOCK flag. Can it be merged with the kmem charging path?

Code-wise the patch looks good to me.

Thanks!
