[PATCH v4 1/2] mm/list_lru.c: fix list_lru_count_node() to be race free

[Sahitya Tummala]

list_lru_count_node() iterates over all memcgs to get
the total number of entries on the node but it can race with
memcg_drain_all_list_lrus(), which migrates the entries from
a dead cgroup to another. This can return incorrect number of
entries from list_lru_count_node().

Fix this by keeping track of entries per node and simply return
it in list_lru_count_node().
