Yup. I turned it into a fix against
mm-workingset-per-cgroup-cache-thrash-detection.patch, which is where
the bug was added. And I did the goto thing instead, so the final
result will be

void workingset_activation(struct page *page)
{
struct lruvec *lruvec;

lock_page_memcg(page);
/*
* Filter non-memcg pages here, e.g. unmap can call
* mark_page_accessed() on VDSO pages.
*
* XXX: See workingset_refault() - this should return
* root_mem_cgroup even for !CONFIG_MEMCG.
*/
if (!mem_cgroup_disabled() && !page_memcg(page))
goto out;
lruvec = mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec(page_zone(page), page_memcg(page));
atomic_long_inc(&lruvec->inactive_age);
out:
unlock_page_memcg(page);
}
