Similar to list_lru, the split queue is relatively independent and does
not need to be reparented along with objcg and LRU folios (holding
objcg lock and lru lock). So let's apply the similar mechanism as list_lru
to reparent the split queue separately when memcg is offine.

This is also a preparation for reparenting LRU folios.

Please move the above function to include/linux/memcontrol.h

OK, will do.


With that, please add:
