Changed the code as following:

+static void memcg_account_kmem(struct mem_cgroup *memcg, int nr_pages)
+{
+       mod_memcg_state(memcg, MEMCG_KMEM, nr_pages);
+
+#if    0
+       if (!cgroup_subsys_on_dfl(memory_cgrp_subsys)) {
+               if (nr_pages > 0)
+                       page_counter_charge(&memcg->kmem, nr_pages);
+               else
+                       page_counter_uncharge(&memcg->kmem, -nr_pages);
+       }
+#endif
+}
+

The hackbench test result is 147% better:
