[PATCH v16 17/22] mm/swap: serialize memcg changes during pagevec_lru_move_fn

[Alex Shi]

Hugh Dickins' found a memcg change bug on original version:
If we want to change the pgdat->lru_lock to memcg's lruvec lock, we have
to serialize mem_cgroup_move_account during pagevec_lru_move_fn. The
possible bad scenario would like:

	cpu 0					cpu 1
lruvec = mem_cgroup_page_lruvec()
					if (!isolate_lru_page())
						mem_cgroup_move_account

spin_lock_irqsave(&lruvec->lru_lock <== wrong lock.

So we need the ClearPageLRU to block isolate_lru_page(), then serialize
the memcg change here.
