Hmm, unfortunately there is one more issue with this patch.
memrlimit_cgroup_subsys doesn't expect NULL new cgroup and NULL task.
memrlimit_cgroup_mm_owner_changed blows up (called from
cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks as ss->mm_owner_changed).

I'm out for few days, please solve it somehow. Full oops message follows.
