[PATCH 1/4] memcg: fix mem_cgroup_get_reclaim_stat_from_page

[Daisuke Nishimura]

In case of swapin, a new page is added to lru before it is charged,
so page->pc->mem_cgroup points to NULL or last mem_cgroup the page
was charged before.

In the latter case, if the mem_cgroup has already freed by rmdir,
the area pointed to by page->pc->mem_cgroup may have invalid data.

Actually, I saw general protection fault.
