Allocation of shrinkers map is in css_online() now, and this wants its pay.
memcg_expand_one_shrinker_map() must be able to differ mem cgroups with
allocated maps, mem cgroups with not allocated maps, and mem cgroups with
failed/failing css_online. So, the mutex is used for synchronization with
expanding. See "old_size && !old" check in memcg_expand_one_shrinker_map().

These function will have 80% code the same. What are the reasons to duplicate
the same functionality? Two functions are more difficult for support, and
everywhere in kernel we try to avoid this IMHO.

Which comment does this want? "root_mem_cgroup is not initialized, so it does not have child mem cgroups"?
