Hmm, no this patch was fine.

Bug was in fact added by Glauber Costa in commit 180d8cd942ce336b2c869
(foundations of per-cgroup memory pressure controlling.)

Because he replaced the safe percpu_counter_read_positive() call to
unsafe percpu_counter_sum_positive() in
sk_sockets_allocated_read_positive()

But anyway the patch I sent should fix the problem.
