Subject[BUGFIX][PATCH v4] memcg: fix memory migration of shmem swapcache
> Sorry for nit-picking but succeed is not as good as succeeded,
> successful, successful_migration or migration_ok
>
OK, I use "migration_ok".

===
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.

- pass mem_cgroup_end_migration() "bool" instead of "int".
