[PATCH v2 1/8] mm/lru: add per lruvec lock for memcg

[Alex Shi]

Currently memcg still use per node pgdat->lru_lock to guard its lruvec.
That causes some lru_lock contention in a high container density system.

If we can use per lruvec lock, that could relief much of the lru_lock
contention.

The later patches will replace the pgdat->lru_lock with lruvec->lru_lock
and show the performance benefit by benchmarks.
