Yes.
I think we should add mem_cgroup_split_hugepage_commit() and add PageTransHuge()
check in mem_cgroup_move_parent() as done in RHEL6 kernel.
As for move-charge-at-task-move, it will work because walk_pmd_range() splits
THP pages(it would be better to change move-charge not to split THP pages, but
it's not so urgent IMHO).

Not yet, but I'll test and check.
