memcg: fix mem_cgroup_move_lists locking 

Ever since the VM_BUG_ON(page_get_page_cgroup(page)) (now Bad page state) went
into page freeing, I've hit it from time to time in testing on some machines,
sometimes only after many days.  Recently found a machine which could usually
produce it within a few hours, which got me there at last.

The culprit is mem_cgroup_move_lists, whose locking is inadequate; and the
arrangement of structures was such that you got page_cgroups from the lru list
neatly put on to SLUB's freelist.  Kamezawa-san identified the same hole
independently.

The main problem was that it was missing the lock_page_cgroup it needs to
safely page_get_page_cgroup; but it's tricky to go beyond that too, and I
couldn't do it with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU as I'd expected.  See the code for
comments on the constraints.

This patch immediately gets replaced by a simpler one from Hirokazu-san; but
is it just foolish pride that tells me to put this one on record, in case we
need to come back to it later?
