memcg: fix deadlock between lock_page_cgroup and mapping tree_lock
mapping->tree_lock can be acquired from interrupt context. Then,
following dead lock can occur.
Assume "A" as a page.
CPU0:
lock_page_cgroup(A)
interrupted
-> take mapping->tree_lock.
CPU1:
take mapping->tree_lock
-> lock_page_cgroup(A)
This patch tries to fix above deadlock by moving memcg's hook to out of
mapping->tree_lock. charge/uncharge of pagecache/swapcache is protected
by page lock, not tree_lock.
After this patch, lock_page_cgroup() is not called under mapping->tree_lock.
