If memcg_init_kmem() returns -errno when a memcg is being created, mem_cgroup_css_online() will decrement memcg and its parent's refcnt, (but strangely there's no mem_cgroup_put() for mem_cgroup_get() called in memcg_propagate_kmem()).
But then cgroup core will call mem_cgroup_css_free() to do cleanup...
