[patch 2/3] mm: memcontrol: rewrite uncharge API fix - double migration

[Johannes Weiner]

Hugh reports:

VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!(pc->flags & PCG_MEM))
mm/memcontrol.c:6680!
page had count 1 mapcount 0 mapping anon index 0x196
flags locked uptodate reclaim swapbacked, pcflags 1, memcg not root
mem_cgroup_migrate < move_to_new_page < migrate_pages < compact_zone <
compact_zone_order < try_to_compact_pages < __alloc_pages_direct_compact <
__alloc_pages_nodemask < alloc_pages_vma < do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page <
handle_mm_fault < __do_page_fault

mem_cgroup_migrate() assumes that a page is only migrated once and
then freed immediately after.

However, putting the page back on the LRU list and dropping the
isolation refcount is not done atomically.  This allows a PFN-based
migrator like compaction to isolate the page, see the expected
anonymous page refcount of 1, and migrate the page once more.

Catch pages that have already been migrated and abort migration
gracefully.
