mm: memcontrol: charge swapin pages on instantiation

Right now, users that are otherwise memory controlled can easily escape
their containment and allocate significant amounts of memory that they're
not being charged for.  That's because swap readahead pages are not being
charged until somebody actually faults them into their page table.  This
can be exploited with MADV_WILLNEED, which triggers arbitrary readahead
allocations without charging the pages.

There are additional problems with the delayed charging of swap pages:

1. To implement refault/workingset detection for anonymous pages, we
   need to have a target LRU available at swapin time, but the LRU is not
   determinable until the page has been charged.

2. To implement per-cgroup LRU locking, we need page->mem_cgroup to be
   stable when the page is isolated from the LRU; otherwise, the locks
   change under us.  But swapcache gets charged after it's already on the
   LRU, and even if we cannot isolate it ourselves (since charging is not
   exactly optional).

The previous patch ensured we always maintain cgroup ownership records for
swap pages.  This patch moves the swapcache charging point from the fault
handler to swapin time to fix all of the above problems.
