At first I thought that this doesn't help much because the generated
code should be exactly same but thinking about it some more it makes
sense.
We should have a single place where we account for events. Maybe we
should include also accounting done in mem_cgroup_charge_statistics
(this would however mean that mem_cgroup_count_vm_event would have to be
split). What do you think?

The generated code will be same but it is easier to read, so agreed.
