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.
