It's better to depend on CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM rather than CONFIG_MEMCG.
Without CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM the kernel memory accounting is off, so
per-memcg shrinkers do not make any sense. The same applies for many
places in the patchset.

PS I like this version of the patchset much more than the previous one,
so it looks like it's going in the right direction.

Thanks!
