[Devel] [PATCH][for -mm] Fix and Enhancements for memory cgroup [5/6] memory cgroup and migration fix

While using memory control cgroup, page-migration under it works as following.
==
 1. uncharge all refs at try to unmap.
 2. charge regs again remove_migration_ptes()
==
This is simple but has following problems.
==
 The page is uncharged and chaged back again if *mapped*.
    - This means that cgroup before migraion can be different from one after
      migraion
    - If page is not mapped but charged as page cache, charge is just ignored
      (because not mapped, it will not be uncharged before migration)
      This is memory leak.
==
This patch tries to keep memory cgroup at page migration by increasing
one refcnt during it. 3 functions are added.

 mem_cgroup_prepare_migration() --- increase refcnt of page->page_cgroup
 mem_cgroup_end_migration()     --- decrease refcnt of page->page_cgroup
 mem_cgroup_page_migration() --- copy page->page_cgroup from old page to
                                 new page.

During migration
  - old page is under PG_locked.
  - new page is under PG_locked, too.
  - both old page and new page are not on LRU.

These 3 facts guarantees page_cgroup() migration has no race, I think.

Tested and worked well in x86_64/fake-NUMA box.

Changelog v1 -> v2:
  - reflected comments.
  - divided a patche to !PageLRU patch and migration patch.
