Subject[PATCH 1/6] memcg: move charge swapin under lock
While page-cache's charge/uncharge is done under page_lock(), swap-cache
isn't. (anonymous page is charged when it's newly allocated.)

This patch moves do_swap_page()'s charge() call under lock.
I don't see any bad problem *now* but this fix will be good for future
for avoiding unneccesary racy state.


Changelog: (v6) -> (v7)
- no changes.
Changelog: (v5) -> (v6)
- mark_page_accessed() is moved before lock_page().
- fixed missing unlock_page()
(no changes in previous version)
