mm, vmscan: Update all zone LRU sizes before updating memcg
Minchan Kim reported setting the following warning on a 32-bit system
although it can affect 64-bit systems.
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 1322 at mm/memcontrol.c:998 mem_cgroup_update_lru_size+0x103/0x110

LRU list contents and counts are updated separately. Counts are updated
before pages are added to the LRU and updated after pages are removed.
The warning above is from a check in mem_cgroup_update_lru_size that
ensures that list sizes of zero are empty.
The problem is that node-lru needs to account for highmem pages if
CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. One impact of the implementation is that the
sizes are updated in multiple passes when pages from multiple zones were
isolated. This happens whether HIGHMEM is set or not. When multiple
zones are isolated, it's possible for a debugging check in memcg to be
tripped.
This patch forces all the zone counts to be updated before the memcg
function is called.
