The lazy updates are neat, but I'm a little concerned at the memory
footprint. On a 64-cpu machine for example, this adds close to 9000
words to struct mem_cgroup. And we really only need the accuracy for
the 4 cgroup items in memory.events, not all VM events and stats.

Why not restrict the patch to those? It would also get rid of the
weird sharing between VM and cgroup enums.
