What per-memcg-lrulock? I don't have it.
last patch splits lruvecs in memcg with the same factor.

lruvec count per memcg can be arbitrary and changeable if cgroup is empty.
This is not in this patch, but it's really easy.

If we rework page to memcg linking and add direct lruvec-id into page->flags,
we will able to change lruvec before inserting page to lru.
Thus each cpu will always insert pages into its own lruvec in zone.
I have not thought about races yet, but this would be perfect solution.
