Subject: memcg: do not modify rstat tree for zero updates
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2023 19:18:01 +0000

In some situations, we may end up calling memcg_rstat_updated() with a
value of 0, which means the stat was not actually updated.  An example is
if we fail to reclaim any pages in shrink_folio_list().

Do not add the cgroup to the rstat updated tree in this case, to avoid
unnecessarily flushing it.
