commit ab936cbcd02072a34b60d268f94440fd5cf1970b upstream.

Commit ef6a3c6311 ("mm: add replace_page_cache_page() function") added a
function replace_page_cache_page().  This function replaces a page in the
radix-tree with a new page.  WHen doing this, memory cgroup needs to fix
up the accounting information.  memcg need to check PCG_USED bit etc.

In some(many?) cases, 'newpage' is on LRU before calling
replace_page_cache().  So, memcg's LRU accounting information should be
fixed, too.

This patch adds mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache() and removes the old hooks.
 In that function, old pages will be unaccounted without touching
res_counter and new page will be accounted to the memcg (of old page).
WHen overwriting pc->mem_cgroup of newpage, take zone->lru_lock and avoid
races with LRU handling.

Background:
  replace_page_cache_page() is called by FUSE code in its splice() handling.
  Here, 'newpage' is replacing oldpage but this newpage is not a newly allocated
  page and may be on LRU. LRU mis-accounting will be critical for memory cgroup
  because rmdir() checks the whole LRU is empty and there is no account leak.
  If a page is on the other LRU than it should be, rmdir() will fail.

This bug was added in March 2011, but no bug report yet.  I guess there
are not many people who use memcg and FUSE at the same time with upstream
kernels.

The result of this bug is that admin cannot destroy a memcg because of
account leak.  So, no panic, no deadlock.  And, even if an active cgroup
exist, umount can succseed.  So no problem at shutdown.
