Is this synchronize_rcu() still needed, now that we don't use RCU to
protect memcgs from disappearing during allocation anymore?

Also, should we drop the memcg reference we got in
memcg_create_kmem_cache() here?

We might need rcu_dereference() here (and hold rcu_read_lock()).
Or we could just remove this message.

Is it ok to call rcu_access_pointer() and rcu_dereference() without
holding rcu_read_lock()?

Why do we need to get a reference to the memcg for every charge?
How will this work when deleting a memcg?

We might need to charge memsw here too.
