[PATCH v6 11/11] mm: lru: use lruvec lock to serialize memcg changes

[Muchun Song]

As described by commit fc574c23558c ("mm/swap.c: serialize memcg
changes in pagevec_lru_move_fn"), TestClearPageLRU() aims to
serialize mem_cgroup_move_account() during pagevec_lru_move_fn().
Now folio_lruvec_lock*() has the ability to detect whether page
memcg has been changed. So we can use lruvec lock to serialize
mem_cgroup_move_account() during pagevec_lru_move_fn(). This
change is a partial revert of the commit fc574c23558c ("mm/swap.c:
serialize memcg changes in pagevec_lru_move_fn").

And pagevec_lru_move_fn() is more hot compare with
mem_cgroup_move_account(), removing an atomic operation would be
an optimization. Also this change would not dirty cacheline for a
page which isn't on the LRU.
