You forgot to patch the comment to shrink_slab(). Please take a closer
look at the diff I sent you:

If you made !MEMCG version of mem_cgroup_is_root return true, as I
suggested in reply to patch 13, you could also simplify the memcg
related check in the beginning of shrink_slab() as in case of
CONFIG_MEMCG 'memcg' is now guaranteed to be != NULL in this function
while in case if !CONFIG_MEMCG mem_cgroup_is_root() would always
return true:
