If we reparent the slab objects to the root memcg, when we free
the slab object, we need to update the per-memcg vmstats to keep
it correct for the root memcg. Now this at least affects the vmstat
of NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB for !CONFIG_VMAP_STACK when the thread stack
size is smaller than the PAGE_SIZE.

Fixes: ec9f02384f60 ("mm: workingset: fix vmstat counters for shadow nodes")

I assume that without this fix that the root memcg's vmstat would always 
be inflated if we reparented?  If that's accurate, perhaps this is 
deserving of a
