memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule
Now, at LRU handling, memory cgroup needs to do complicated works to see valid pc->mem_cgroup, which may be overwritten. This patch is for relaxing the protocol. This patch guarantees - when pc->mem_cgroup is overwritten, page must not be on LRU. By this, LRU routine can believe pc->mem_cgroup and don't need to check bits on pc->flags. This new rule may adds small overheads to swapin. But in most case, lru handling gets faster. After this patch, PCG_ACCT_LRU bit is obsolete and removed.
