This patch was based on the current linux-next tree which includes 
commit ff221bc26bdd ("mm: list_lru: rename memcg_drain_all_list_lrus to 
memcg_reparent_list_lrus"). I do remember to double-check linux-next 
before sending this patch out. In fact, the same patch can be applied to 
both linux and linux-next tree without problem.
