Inline mem_cgroup_{charge/uncharge} and mem_cgroup_uncharge_list functions
functions to perform mem_cgroup_disabled static key check inline before
calling the main body of the function. This minimizes the memcg overhead
in the pagefault and exit_mmap paths when memcgs are disabled using
cgroup_disable=memory command-line option.
This change results in ~0.4% overhead reduction when running PFT test
comparing {CONFIG_MEMCG=n} against {CONFIG_MEMCG=y, cgroup_disable=memory}
configurationon on an 8-core ARM64 Android device.

Sounds reasonable to me as well. One comment:

Why not do

int __mem_cgroup_charge(struct page *page, struct mm_struct *mm,
			gfp_t gfp_mask);

static inline int mem_cgroup_charge(struct page *page, struct mm_struct *mm,
				    gfp_t gfp_mask)
{
	if (mem_cgroup_disabled())
		return 0;

	return __mem_cgroup_charge(page, memcg, gfp_mask);
}

like in the other cases as well?

That would avoid inlining two separate function calls into all the
callsites...

There is an (internal) __mem_cgroup_charge() already, but you can
rename it charge_memcg().
