Is there any lock which protects this static data?

IIRC, a preempt_enable() will add about 50 bytes to kernel size.

I think these lines are also good for readability:

	rcu_read_lock();
	ret = cgroup_path(task_cgrp, task_memcg_name, PATH_MAX);
	if (ret >= 0)
		ret = cgroup_path(mem_cgrp, memcg_name, PATH_MAX);
	rcu_read_unlock();

	if (ret < 0) {
		/*
		 * Unfortunately, we are unable to convert to a useful name
		 * But we'll still print out the usage information
		 */
		goto done;
	}
