On the other hand, inconsistent with mem_cgroup_hierarchy_write(), which
applies the logic in the same way I did here.

How so?

If parent's use_hierarchy is set, we can't set this value (we need to
have a parent for that to even matter).

We also can't set it if we already have any children - otherwise all the
on-the-fly adjustments become hell-on-earth.

As for = val != 0, sorry, but I completely disagree this is easier than
!!val. Not to mention the !!val notation is already pretty widespread in
the kernel.
