Those patches are small and trivial, but it's ok for me to do this
automatically. How about below patch.

Note cpuset.memory_pressure is read-only though it has read handler.
Since if the read handler is removed, it'll return EINVAL instead of
the current EACCESS, I think it's better to leave as it is.
