Ah, right, I misread the branch.  I don't quite get how the cache can
be reused later tho?  This is called when the memcg gets released and
a clear error condition - the caller, kmem_cache_destroy(), handles it
as an error condition too.

Hmm... yeah, we're missing the error return propagation.  I think
that's the only meaningful difference tho, right?  Will update the
patch.

Thanks!
