[Devel] [PATCH rh7 1/3] uprobes: Fix the memcg accounting

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg at redhat.com>

__replace_page() wronlgy calls mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() in "success" path,
it should only do this if page_check_address() fails.

This means that every enable/disable leads to unbalanced mem_cgroup_uncharge()
from put_page(old_page), it is trivial to underflow the page_counter->count
and trigger OOM.
