This comment doesn't look to be correct after these changes. Should it
be fixed? Or the ordering should be fixed too?

We effectively dropped this:
if (!parent)
parent = root_mem_cgroup;
Is it safe? (assuming v1 non-hierarchical mode, it's usually when all
is getting complicated)

The rest of the patch looks good to me.

Thanks!
