Will this function be called with mem->css.refcnt == 0? If yes, then
this function is racy.

cg = mem->css.cgroup
				cgroup_diput()
				  mem_cgroup_destroy()
				    mem->css.cgroup = NULL;
				  kfree(cg);
if (!cg || cgroup_is_removed(cg)...)

(accessing invalid cg)

mem might already be destroyed by mem_cgroup_free(mem).
