    Subject[BUGFIX][PATCH] memcg: fix memory migration of shmem swapcache
    Hi.

    This is a fix for a problem which has bothered me for a month.

    ===
    From: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@mxp.nes.nec.co.jp>

    In current implimentation, mem_cgroup_end_migration() decides whether the page
    migration has succeeded or not by checking "oldpage->mapping".

    But if we are tring to migrate a shmem swapcache, the page->mapping of it is
    NULL from the begining, so the check would be invalid.
    As a result, mem_cgroup_end_migration() assumes the migration has succeeded
    even if it's not, so "newpage" would be freed while it's not uncharged.

    This patch fixes it by passing mem_cgroup_end_migration() the result of the
    page migration.
