While this works in practice, it looks wrong because it doesn't follow
the mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() rules.

Please open-code spin_lock_irq(&pgdat->__lruvec->lru_lock) instead.

The spinlock doesn't prevent the lruvec from being freed.

You deleted the rules from the mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() documentation,
but they still apply: if the page is already !PageLRU() by the time
you get here, it could get reclaimed or migrated to another cgroup,
and that can free the memcg/lruvec. Merely having the lru_lock held
does not prevent this.

Either the page needs to be locked, or the page needs to be PageLRU
with the lru_lock held to prevent somebody else from isolating
it. Otherwise, the lruvec is not safe to use.
