Didn't spot bugs, but I'm not that familiar with memcg. Noticed some 
things below to further optimize/cleanup.

I've noticed most callers pass NODE_DATA(nid) as second parameter, which 
is quite wasteful to just obtain back the node_id (I doubt the compiler 
can know that they will be the same?). So it would be more efficient to 
use nid instead of pg_data_t pointer in the signature.

This could be renamed to _nodeinfo()?
