Just to clarify: this patch should be placed on top of two other
patches, which I sent a bit earlier today:

1) mm: memcontrol: flush percpu slab vmstats on kmem offlining
2) mm: memcontrol: flush percpu vmstats before releasing memcg

Sorry for the inconvenience, I forgot about vmevents during
working on the final version, and remembered too late.

Thanks!
