I got to the last patch and see how you do it. You are relying on
free_accounted_pages directly which doesn't check kmem_accounted and
uses PageUsed bit instead. So this is correct. I guess you are relying
on the life cycle of the object in general so other types of objects
should be safe as well and there shouldn't be any leaks. It is just that
the memcg life time is not bounded now. Will think about that.
