Here is my suggestion on how to proceed.

1. Let's drop this patch (memcg: cache obj_stock by memcg, not by objcg pointer)
from mm-tree.

2. Let's not add anything to 7.1.

3. 7.2+ will have the multi-objcg series [1] and the patches will have fixes
tag. If someone uses non-LTS 7.1, they can easily find those patches and can
backport them.

Please let me know if there are any concerns.
