I suspect this is also by far the most robust solution from a code and
maintenance POV.
I don't recall the page counter at the root level having been a
concern in recent years, even though it's widely used in production
environments. It's lockless and cache compact. It's also per-cpu
batched, which means it isn't actually part of the memcg hotpath.
