As all the other places, we grab the lock before manipulate the defer list. Current implementation may face a race condition.
For example, the potential race would be:
CPU1 CPU2 mem_cgroup_move_account split_huge_page_to_list !list_empty lock !list_empty list_del unlock lock # !list_empty might not hold anymore list_del_init unlock
When this sequence happens, the list_del_init() in mem_cgroup_move_account() would crash if CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST since the page is already been removed by list_del in split_huge_page_to_list().
Fixes: 87eaceb3faa5 ("mm: thp: make deferred split shrinker memcg aware")
