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.
