The updated version looks very good* to me!

Looking through the patchset, I have a feeling that we're sometimes
gathering too much data. Perhaps we don't need the whole set
of counters to be per-cpu on both memcg- and memcg-per-node levels.
Merging them can save quite a lot of space. Anyway, it's a separate
topic.
