Subject: [PATCH 3/6] memcg: remove PCG_MOVE_LOCK flag from page_cgroup.

PCG_MOVE_LOCK is used for bit spinlock to avoid race between overwriting
pc->mem_cgroup and page statistics accounting per memcg.
This lock helps to avoid the race but the race is very rare because moving
tasks between cgroup is not a usual job.
So, it seems using 1bit per page is too costly.

This patch changes this lock as per-memcg spinlock and removes PCG_MOVE_LOCK.

If smaller lock is required, we'll be able to add some hashes but
I'd like to start from this.

Changelog:
  - fixed to pass memcg as an argument rather than page_cgroup.
    and renamed from move_lock_page_cgroup() to move_lock_mem_cgroup()
