That is what I've done in my first version of this patch. At that time,
Christoph wanted it to be this way so we would make sure it would never
be used with #CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_KMEM defined. A value of zero
will generate no errors. Undefined value will.
Now, if you ask me, I personally prefer following what kmemcheck does
here...
