Subject[PATCH 2/3] mm: Make list_lru_node::memcg_lrus RCU protected
From
Date
The array list_lru_node::memcg_lrus::list_lru_one[] only grows,
and it never shrinks. The growths happens in memcg_update_list_lru_node(),
and old array's members remain the same after it.

So, the access to the array's members may become RCU protected,
and it's possible to avoid using list_lru_node::lock to dereference it.
This will be used to get list's nr_items in next patch lockless.
