There isn't any special uncharge for shmem_unuse(): once the swapcache
page is matched up with its memcg, it will get uncharged by one of the
usual routes to swapcache_free() when the page is freed: maybe in the
call from __remove_mapping(), maybe when free_page_and_swap_cache()
ends up calling it.
Perhaps you're worrying about error (or unfound) paths in shmem_unuse()?
By the time we make the charge, we know for sure that it's a shmem page,
and make the charge appropriately; in racy cases it might get uncharged
again in the delete_from_swap_cache(). Can the unfound case occur these
days? I'd have to think more deeply to answer that, but the charge will
not go missing.
