memcg: simplify move_account() check
In memcg, for avoiding take-lock-irq-off at accessing page_cgroup, a
logic, flag + rcu_read_lock(), is used. This works as following
CPU-A CPU-B
rcu_read_lock()
set flag
if(flag is set)
take heavy lock
do job.
synchronize_rcu() rcu_read_unlock()
take heavy lock.
In recent discussion, it's argued that using per-cpu value for this flag
just complicates the code because 'set flag' is very rare.
This patch changes 'flag' implementation from percpu to atomic_t. This
will be much simpler.
