mem_cgroup_cache_charge() has check for PageCompound(). The check
prevents charging huge cache pages.

I don't see a reason why the check is present. Looks like it's just
legacy (introduced in 52d4b9a memcg: allocate all page_cgroup at boot).

Let's just drop it.
If the page cache charging path only sees THP as compound pages then OK.
Can we keep at least VM_BUG_ON(PageCompound(page) && !PageTransHuge(page))

Otherwise mem_cgroup_charge_common would be confused and charge such a
page as order-0

Other than that, looks good to me.
