Good catch, this makes things much simpler.
Looking at the surrounding code, there also seems to be no reason
anymore to have uncharge_list() as a separate function: there is only
one caller after the mentioned commit, and it's trivial after your
change. Would you mind folding it into mem_cgroup_uncharge_list()?
The list_empty() check in that one is also unnecessary now: the
do-while loop required at least one page to be on the list or it would
crash, but list_for_each() will be just fine on an empty list.
Thanks
