mm/internal.h kinda sucks. However, it was only in swap.h because it
started as an inline function. I now moved it to mmzone.h where struct
lruvec is defined and the other lruvec functions are declared/defined.

As for the rename, get_lru_size() is not a great name for a wider
scope. So I followed the spirit of lruvec_init() and lruvec_zone().

Thanks for catching that. I added a mem_cgroup_disabled() check to
mem_cgroup_id() since it's now a public interface.
