No.
It's necessary for mem_cgroup_{prepare|end}_migration().
mem_cgroup_prepare_migration() will return without doing anything in
"if (mem_cgroup_disabled()" case(iow, "memcg" is not overwritten),
but mem_cgroup_end_migration() depends on the value of "memcg" to decide
whether prepare_migration has succeeded or not.
This may not be a good implementation, but IMHO I'd like to to initialize
valuable before using it in general.
