A few small nitpicks:

The logic here reads a bit weird, why not simply:

	 /*
	  * Even without hierarchy explicitely enabled in the root
	  * memcg, it is the ultimate parent of all memcgs.
	  */
	if (!root || root == root_mem_cgroup)
		return root_mem_cgroup;
	if (root->use_hierarchy)
		return root;

It actually is the per-memcg shrinker now, and thus should be called
shrink_memcg.

Any passing the mem_cgroup explicitly instead of hiding it in the
scan_control would make that much more obvious.  If there's a good
reason to pass it in the structure the same probably applies to the
zone and priority, too.

Shouldn't we also have a non-cgroups stub of shrink_zone to directly
call do_shrink_zone/shrink_memcg with a NULL memcg and thus optimize
the whole loop away for it?
