Subject[patch 4/9] mm: memcontrol: catch root bypass in move precharge
Date
When mem_cgroup_try_charge() returns -EINTR, it bypassed the charge to
the root memcg. But move precharging does not catch this and treats
this case as if no charge had happened, thus leaking a charge against
root. Because of an old optimization, the root memcg's res_counter is
not actually charged right now, but it's still an imbalance and
subsequent patches will charge the root memcg again.

Thus, catch those bypasses to the root memcg and properly cancel them
before giving up the move.
