It seems like this might cause a lot of kernel memory allocations to
fail whenever we are at the limit, even if we have a lot of
reclaimable memory, when we don't have independent accounting.
Would it be better to use __mem_cgroup_try_charge() here, when we
don't have independent accounting, in order to deal with this
situation?
