When I manually set default n to MEMCG_KMEM in init/Kconfig, bellow error
occurs,
mm/slab_common.c: In function 'memcg_slab_start':
mm/slab_common.c:1530:30: error: 'struct mem_cgroup' has no member named
'kmem_caches'
return seq_list_start(&memcg->kmem_caches, *pos);

That's because kmem_caches is defined only when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is set,
while memcg_slab_start() will use it no matter CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is defined
or not.
By the way, the reason I mannuly undefined CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is to verify
whether my some other code change is still stable when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is
not set. Unfortunately, the existing code has been already unstable since
v4.11.
Fixes: bc2791f857e1 ("slab: link memcg kmem_caches on their associated memory cgroup")
