One excuse for my old implementation of mem_cgroup_get_total_stat(),
which is fixed in patch 6, is that I thought it's better to touch all counters
in a cachineline at once and avoiding long distance for-each loop.

What number of performance difference with some big hierarchy(100+children) tree ?
(But I agree your code is cleaner. I'm just curious.)

Thanks,
