Two small changes please:

1) Add an appropriate prefix to your subject line indicating the subsystem
being changed by this patch, "net: fix sleeping ..." would be appropriate
in this case.

2) Put the ifdef'ery into the memcontrol.h header file, rather than sock.c,
f.e. rename register_sock_cgroup to __register_sock_cgroup(), and
unregister_sock_cgroup to __unregister_sock_cgroup. Then create two
helper inlines in memcontrolh:

#ifdef CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_KMEM
static inline void register_sock_cgroup(struct proto *prot)
{
if (prot->proto_cgroup != NULL)
register_sock_cgroup(prot);
}
static inline void unregister_sock_cgroup(struct proto *prot)
{
if (prot->proto_cgroup != NULL)
unregister_sock_cgroup(prot);
}
#else
static inline void register_sock_cgroup(struct proto *prot)
{
}
static inline void unregister_sock_cgroup(struct proto *prot)
{
}
#endif

Then call these helpers unconditionally in net/core/sock.c

That way you don't need any ifdefs in that file at all.
