Is there any point to get css reference per each charged page? For kmem
it is absolutely necessary, because dangling slabs must block
destruction of memcg's kmem caches, which are destroyed on css_free. But
for sockets there's no such problem: memcg will be destroyed only after
all sockets are destroyed and therefore uncharged (since
sock_update_memcg pins css).

I think it's suboptimal to schedule the work even if we are below the
high threshold.

BTW why do we need this work at all? Why is reclaim_high called from
task_work not enough?
