i wonder how much performance impacts this involves.

it increases the number of atomic ops per charge/uncharge and
makes the common case (success) of every charge/uncharge in a system
touch a global (ie. root cgroup's) cachelines.

if i read it correctly, it makes us hit the last child again and again.

i think you want to reclaim from all cgroups under the curr_cgroup
including eg. children's children.
