Because [1] and [2] are fixing commit 42a300353577 ("mm: memcontrol: fix
recursive statistics correctness & scalabilty"), which has been merged into 5.2.
And [3] fixes commit fb2f2b0adb98 ("mm: memcg/slab: reparent memcg kmem_caches
on cgroup removal"), which is in not yet released 5.3, so stable backport isn't
required.
Thanks!
