Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] sock: Fix improper heuristic on raising memory

Before sockets became aware of net-memcg's memory pressure since
commit e1aab161e013 ("socket: initial cgroup code."), the memory
usage would be granted to raise if below average even when under
protocol's pressure. This provides fairness among the sockets of
same protocol.

That commit changes this because the heuristic will also be
effective when only memcg is under pressure which makes no sense.
Fix this by skipping this heuristic when under memcg pressure.

Fixes: e1aab161e013 ("socket: initial cgroup code.")
