Oh, did you see __mem_cgroup_try_charge() calls
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible() in stack trace? Yes, they are inlined

I thought the stack trace I showed is obvious. :) I am very happy
to investigate if you see any other path calling
schedule_timeout_uninterruptible()
in __mem_cgroup_try_charge().
