Yeah, this is most complicated part. I found one race here, see below.

Here race with mem_cgroup_move_account() we hold lock for old lruvec,
while move_account() recharge page and put page back into other lruvec.
Thus we see PageLRU(), but below we isolate page from wrong lruvec.

In my patch-set this is fixed with __wait_lru_unlock() [ spin_unlock_wait() ]
in mem_cgroup_move_account()
