memcg: protect prev_priority
Currently, mem_cgroup doesn't have own lock and almost its member doesn't
need. (e.g. mem_cgroup->info is protected by zone lock, mem_cgroup->stat
is per cpu variable)
However, there is one explict exception. mem_cgroup->prev_priorit need
lock, but doesn't protect. Luckly, this is NOT bug because prev_priority
isn't used for current reclaim code.
However, we plan to use prev_priority future again. Therefore, fixing is
better.
In addition, we plan to reuse this lock for another member. Then
"reclaim_param_lock" name is better than "prev_priority_lock".
