[PATCH v21 16/19] mm/swap.c: serialize memcg changes in 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 TestClearPageLRU to block isolate_lru_page(), that serializes
the memcg change. and then removing the PageLRU check in move_fn callee
as the consequence.

__pagevec_lru_add_fn() is different from the others, because the pages
it deals with are, by definition, not yet on the lru.  TestClearPageLRU
is not needed and would not work, so __pagevec_lru_add() goes its own
way.
