Alright, I have changed to 'cleanup', please take a look at v2.

Yet I have another question about this condition:
	'if (newsk && mem_cgroup_sockets_enabled)'
IMHO in the scope of cgroup v1, 'mem_cgroup_sockets_enabled' doesn't
imply socket accounting enabled for current's memcg. As the listening
socket and the newly accepted socket are processing same traffic, can
we make this condition more specific like this:
	'if (newsk && mem_cgroup_sockets_enabled && sk->sk_memcg)'
would you mind shedding some light please?

Thanks!
