memcg: simplify LRU handling by new rule

Browse source 
Now, at LRU handling, memory cgroup needs to do complicated works to see
valid pc->mem_cgroup, which may be overwritten.

This patch is for relaxing the protocol. This patch guarantees
   - when pc->mem_cgroup is overwritten, page must not be on LRU.

By this, LRU routine can believe pc->mem_cgroup and don't need to check
bits on pc->flags.  This new rule may adds small overheads to swapin.  But
in most case, lru handling gets faster.

After this patch, PCG_ACCT_LRU bit is obsolete and removed.
