Hi Nathan!
Yeah, these enums are kind of stacked on each other, so memcg_stat values
extend node_stat values. And I think your patch is correct.
I'm going to refresh the series with some small fixups. If you're not against
it, I'll merge your patch into the corresponding patches.
And thank you for reporting the problem!
