obj_cgroup_release is called when all the references to the objcg have been released i.e. no more memory objects are pointing to it. Most probably objcg->memcg will be pointing to some ancestor memcg. In obj_cgroup_release(), the kernel calls obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() which refills the local stock. There is no need to refill the local stock with some ancestor memcg and flush the local stock. Let's decouple obj_cgroup_release() from the local stock by uncharging instead of refilling. One additional benefit of this change is that it removes the requirement to only call obj_cgroup_put() outside of local_lock.
