Hi Roman,

Yes, I agree. I wanted to mention here that the current dependency is
incorrect and should be reworked. Having both depending on
SLAB_OBJ_EXT seems like the right approach.

To save space by avoiding padding, however, all members today will be
pointers, so it's meaningless and we can safely drop it.

So, the logic was to skip freeing when the only possible objects in
slab->memcg_data are "struct obj_cgroup" and kmem is disabled.
Otherwise there are other objects stored in slab->memcg_data which
have to be freed. Did I make it more complicated than it should have
been?

Yeah, this is much more readable. Thanks for the suggestion and for
reviewing the code!
