Seems the bpftrace get the cgroupid from the current task and then
compare the task-cgroupid with the speficied cgroupid?
While in the memcg reclaim, the pages in a memcg may be reclaimed by a
process in other memcgs, i.e. the parent memcg,
so we can't use the process's memcg as the filter.

The way to use bpftrace here is using kprobe to do it, I guess.
But as the tracepoint is already there, we can make little change to enhance it.
