The memalloc_use_memcg() function to override the default memcg
accounting context currently doesn't nest. But the patches to make the
loop driver cgroup-aware will end up nesting:

where loop_process_work() sets the memcg override to the memcg that
submitted the IO request, and alloc_page_buffers() sets the override
to the memcg that instantiated the cache page, which may differ.
Make memalloc_use_memcg() return the old memcg and convert existing
users to a stacking model. Delete the unused memalloc_unuse_memcg().
