KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki dbd4ea78f0 memcg: add lock to synchronize page accounting and migration
Introduce a new bit spin lock, PCG_MOVE_LOCK, to synchronize the page
accounting and migration code.  This reworks the locking scheme of
_update_stat() and _move_account() by adding new lock bit PCG_MOVE_LOCK,
which is always taken under IRQ disable.

1. If pages are being migrated from a memcg, then updates to that
   memcg page statistics are protected by grabbing PCG_MOVE_LOCK using
   move_lock_page_cgroup().  In an upcoming commit, memcg dirty page
   accounting will be updating memcg page accounting (specifically: num
   writeback pages) from IRQ context (softirq).  Avoid a deadlocking
   nested spin lock attempt by disabling irq on the local processor when
   grabbing the PCG_MOVE_LOCK.

2. lock for update_page_stat is used only for avoiding race with
   move_account().  So, IRQ awareness of lock_page_cgroup() itself is not
   a problem.  The problem is between mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() and
   mem_cgroup_move_account_page().

Trade-off:
  * Changing lock_page_cgroup() to always disable IRQ (or
    local_bh) has some impacts on performance and I think
    it's bad to disable IRQ when it's not necessary.
  * adding a new lock makes move_account() slower.  Score is
    here.

Performance Impact: moving a 8G anon process.

Before:
	real    0m0.792s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.780s

After:
	real    0m0.854s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.842s

This score is bad but planned patches for optimization can reduce
this impact.
