Why do we need this? THP pages are usually not shared between memcgs. Or
do you have a real world example where this is not the case? Your patch
is adding quite a lot of (and to be really honest very ugly) code so
there better should be a _very_ good reason to justify it. I haven't
looked very closely to the code, at least all those ifdefs in the code
are too ugly to live.
