From: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: memcg: remove memcg_kmem_skip_account The flag memcg_kmem_skip_account was added during the era of opt-out kmem accounting. There is no need for such flag in the opt-in world as there aren't any __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations within memcg_create_cache_enqueue().
