We should call mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() before
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat() to get proper locks, however the
latter doesn't do any checking that we use proper locking, which
would be hard. Suggested by Michal Hock we could at least test for
rcu_read_lock_held() because RCU is held if !mem_cgroup_disabled().
