Yes, it's not an issue. What is likely an issue is skipping the memcg hook
it as the accounting will become wrong.

Yeah, so that means SLAB will indeed be fixed by this patch.
We should mention it in the changelog then. I wouldn't cc stable though, as
it's quite a corner case and your patch is not trivial, backports might
conflict and/or miss some prerequisity etc. If we cared a lot, a preceding
small patch fixing just the SLAB case would be safer.
