I reckon such a guard is on the charge side and readers should treat
NULL and root_mem_group equally. Or is there a case when these two are
different? 

(I can see it's different semantics when stored in current->active_memcg
(and active_memcg() getter) but for such "outer" callers like here it
seems equal.)
