Behavior change depends on how much userspace triggers the root memcg
flush, from nothing to effectively offloading flushing to userspace tasks.
(Theory^^^)

It keeps stats_flush_threshold up to date representing global error
estimate so that error-tolerant readers may save their time and it keeps
the reasoning about the stats_flush_threshold effect simple.
