I am suspecting we are doing a lot of charging for a specific memcg on
one CPU (or a set of CPUs) and a lot of uncharging on the different
CPU (or a different set of CPUs) and thus both of these code paths are
hitting the slow path a lot.

Eric, I remember we have an optimization in the networking stack that
tries to free the memory on the same CPU where the allocation
happened. Is that optimization enabled for this code path? Or maybe we
should do something similar in memcg code (with the assumption that my
suspicion is correct).
