This seems to cause a list breakage in hstate->hugepage_activelist
when freeing a hugetlbfs page.
For hugetlbfs, we uncharge in free_huge_page() which is called after
__page_cache_release(), so I think that we don't have to uncharge here.

In my testing, moving mem_cgroup_uncharge() inside if (PageLRU) block
fixed the problem, so if that works for you, could you fold the change
into your patch?

Thanks,
