I am not sure the patch is good to merge on its own without the rest.
One comment bellow.

I guess you want:
	if (nr_pages > CHARGE_BATCH)
		return false;

because you don't want to try to use stock for THP pages.

The code reads:

+       if (memcg == stock->cached && stock->nr_pages >= nr_pages)
+               stock->nr_pages -= nr_pages;

Isn't stock->nr_pages always <= CHARGE_BATCH by definition?
