IMO it's a step in the right direction. A few nit picks below.

I think we still need this forward declaration e.g. for defining
reclaim_iter.

I think we'd better rename it to mem_cgroup_reclaim_iter.

I think we'd better define these structures inside CONFIG_MEMCG section,
just like struct mem_cgroup.

I'd prefer to leave it where it is now. I don't see any reason why we
have to embed it into mem_cgroup, so may be we'd better keep a pointer
to it in struct mem_cgroup instead?

It's a trivial one line function, so why not inline it too?

This switch-case looks bulky and weird. Let's make this function accept
MEM_CGROUP_EVENTS_PGFAULT/PGMAJFAULT directly instead.

We can inline memcg_kmem_is_active too.
