Forgot to mention, I was testing 3.7-rc6 with the two cgroup changes :

Could you give a try to -mm tree as well. There are some changes for
memcgs removal in that tree which are not in Linus's tree.

I will give a try, which patchset you have in mind so i can double check?

I didn't find the place where the css pins the memcg, which either
something i missed or not in place in my tree. I twisted the patch a
bit to make it closer to your v2 version, but instead keep the
mem_cgroup_put() as well as using css_tryget(). Again, my test is
happy with it:
