Are we at all worried about these? There's been a number of them
reported, basically for all the accounting enablements that have been
done in this merge window.

When io_uring was switched to use accounted memory, we did a bunch of
work to ameliorate the inevitable slowdowns that happen if you do
repeated allocs and/or frees and have memcg accounting enabled.
