If we reparent the slab objects to the root memcg, when we free the slab object, we need to update the per-memcg vmstats to keep it correct for the root memcg. Now this at least affects the vmstat of NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB for !CONFIG_VMAP_STACK when the thread stack size is smaller than the PAGE_SIZE.
