It seem to me that you should export a wrapper to modules with
the mem_cgroup_ prefix and not sure that need to pass current->mm
to this wrapper.

This looks very much like an internal implementation detail that has no
business in an external module. I see evidence that you have used
mem_cgroup_put() in the patch at some point and I agree that you
need to export a pair of matching helpers to external modules.
Thanks,
Amir.
