memcg: fix leak on wrong LRU with FUSE
fs/fuse/dev.c::fuse_try_move_page() does (1) remove a page by ->steal() (2) re-add the page to page cache (3) link the page to LRU if it was not on LRU at (1) This implies the page is _on_ LRU when it's added to radix-tree. So, the page is added to memory cgroup while it's on LRU. because LRU is lazy and no one flushs it. This is the same behavior as SwapCache and needs special care as - remove page from LRU before overwrite pc->mem_cgroup. - add page to LRU after overwrite pc->mem_cgroup. And we need to taking care of pagevec. If PageLRU(page) is set before we add PCG_USED bit, the page will not be added to memcg's LRU (in short period). So, regardlress of PageLRU(page) value before commit_charge(), we need to check PageLRU(page) after commit_charge().
