I think you are mixing the 3rd and 4th patch. The root_mem_cgroup
check should be in 3rd while oom_group stuff should be in 4th.

Sorry about the confusion. There are two things. First, should we do a
css_get on the newly selected memcg within the for loop when we still
have a reference to it?

Second, for the OFFLINE memcg, you are right oom_evaluate_memcg() will
return 0 for offlined memcgs. Maybe no need to call
oom_evaluate_memcg() for offlined memcgs.
