The thing is, we can forget about eventfd. eventfd is checked in
vmpressure_work_fn(), while vmpressure() is always called no matter what.
vmpressure()
queue_work()
cgroup_diput()
call_rcu(cgroup_free_rcu)
...
queue_work(destroy_cgroup)
...
cgroup_free_fn()
mem_cgroup_destroy()
...
vmpress_work_fn()
There's no guarantee that vmpressure work is run before cgroup destroy
work, I think.
