KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 08e552c69c memcg: synchronized LRU
A big patch for changing memcg's LRU semantics.

Now,
  - page_cgroup is linked to mem_cgroup's its own LRU (per zone).

  - LRU of page_cgroup is not synchronous with global LRU.

  - page and page_cgroup is one-to-one and statically allocated.

  - To find page_cgroup is on what LRU, you have to check pc->mem_cgroup as
    - lru = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc, nid_of_pc, zid_of_pc);

  - SwapCache is handled.

And, when we handle LRU list of page_cgroup, we do following.

	pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
	lock_page_cgroup(pc); .....................(1)
	mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
	spin_lock(&mz->lru_lock);
	.....add to LRU
	spin_unlock(&mz->lru_lock);
	unlock_page_cgroup(pc);

But (1) is spin_lock and we have to be afraid of dead-lock with zone->lru_lock.
So, trylock() is used at (1), now. Without (1), we can't trust "mz" is correct.

This is a trial to remove this dirty nesting of locks.
This patch changes mz->lru_lock to be zone->lru_lock.
Then, above sequence will be written as

        spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU
	mem_cgroup_add/remove/etc_lru() {
		pc = lookup_page_cgroup(page);
		mz = page_cgroup_zoneinfo(pc);
		if (PageCgroupUsed(pc)) {
			....add to LRU
		}
        spin_lock(&zone->lru_lock); # in vmscan.c or swap.c via global LRU

This is much simpler.
(*) We're safe even if we don't take lock_page_cgroup(pc). Because..
    1. When pc->mem_cgroup can be modified.
       - at charge.
       - at account_move().
    2. at charge
       the PCG_USED bit is not set before pc->mem_cgroup is fixed.
    3. at account_move()
       the page is isolated and not on LRU.

Pros.
  - easy for maintenance.
  - memcg can make use of laziness of pagevec.
  - we don't have to duplicated LRU/Active/Unevictable bit in page_cgroup.
  - LRU status of memcg will be synchronized with global LRU's one.
  - # of locks are reduced.
  - account_move() is simplified very much.
Cons.
  - may increase cost of LRU rotation.
    (no impact if memcg is not configured.)
