I agree with Christophs recommendation that this flag always exist instead
of being 0 in the !MEMCG_KMEM case. If __GFP_KMEMCG ever is used in another
part of the VM (which would be unexpected but still) then the behaviour
might differ too much between MEMCG_KMEM and !MEMCG_KMEM cases. As unlikely
as the case is, it's not impossible.

For tracing __GFP_KMEMCG should have an entry in
include/trace/events/gfpflags.h

Get rid of the CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM check and update
include/trace/events/gfpflags.h and then feel free to stick my Acked-by
on it.
