OOM badness heuristic will not know about this memory when choosing an
oom victim so we might kill a wrong victim which is not all that great
but at least the consumption will be contained within a memcg which
sounds like the sufficient protection for now. This is the case
basically for all kmem charges...

The seq file life time should be bound to a process life time so this is
OK.
