This is really strange. Could you post the whole diff against stable
tree you are using (except for grsecurity stuff and the above cgroup-uid
patch)?

Btw. the bellow patch might help us to point to the exit path which
leaves wait_on_memcg without mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize:
---
diff --git a/kernel/exit.c b/kernel/exit.c
index e6e01b9..ad472e0 100644
--- a/kernel/exit.c
