This assignment continues by ...
(s && s->flags & SLAB_ACCOUNT)) : false;

We could now remove the "s &&" as we assume it's non-NULL anyway.

This test could be perhaps moved to TP_printk and the accounted field
removed completely, but we need to make sure trace-cmd (which reads the
binary entries and does the printk in userspace) can interpret the tests
properly, including the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM) part.

This could now fit on 2, maybe even 1 line?
Other trace_* calls could be perhaps also reduced, please check.

Hm we lose the SLOB_UNITS() adjustment here. Maybe we don't care that much,
maybe simply c->size could be already stored with SLOB_UNITS() (but didn't
check if other stuff breaks with that).

Thanks!
