Tetsuo then noticed that this is because the __memcg_kmem_charge_memcg
fails __GFP_NOFAIL charge when the kmem limit is reached.  This is a wrong
behavior because nofail allocations are not allowed to fail.  Normal
charge path simply forces the charge even if that means to cross the
limit.  Kmem accounting should be doing the same.
