Eric,

I added a pr_info in try_charge_memcg() to print nr_pages if
nr_pages >= MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH, except it prints 64 during the initialization
of instances, there is no other output during the running. That means nr_pages is not
over 64, I guess that might be the reason why to increase MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH
doesn't affect this case.
