Subject[RFC][BUGFIX][PATCH 1/2] memcg: fix charge bypass route of migration
I'd like to wait until next mmotm comes out. (So, [RFC]) I'll rebase
This patch is based on
mmotm-2010/04/05
+
mm-migration-take-a-reference-to-the-anon_vma-before-migrating.patch
mm-migration-do-not-try-to-migrate-unmapped-anonymous-pages.patch

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

This is an additonal fix to memcg-fix-prepare-migration.patch

Now, try_charge can bypass charge if TIF_MEMDIE at el are marked on the caller.
In this case, the charge is bypassed. This makes accounts corrupted.
(PageCgroup will be marked as PCG_USED even if bypassed, and css->refcnt
can leak.)

This patch clears passed "*memcg" in bypass route.

Because usual page allocater passes memcg=NULL, this patch only affects
some special case as
- move account
- migration
- swapin.
