One part of this that wasn't clear to me - if a cgroup has a lot of
unmapped pagecache sitting around but no tasks, and we try to rmdir
it, then all the pagecache gets moved to the parent too? Or just the
stray mapped pages?

Isn't this the same as the definition of mem_cgroup_try_charge()? So
you could leave it as-is?
