Yes, but it's not obvious from the diff alone.  page_referenced() does
this:

		/*
		 * If we are reclaiming on behalf of a cgroup, skip
		 * counting on behalf of references from different
		 * cgroups
		 */
		if (memcg && !mm_match_cgroup(vma->vm_mm, memcg))
			continue;

As a result, !sc->target_mem_cgroup -- global reclaim -- will never
ignore references, or put differently, respect references from all
memcgs, which is what we want.
