The get_mem_cgroup_from_page() is called under page lock, so the page memcg cannot be changed under us. Also, css_get is enough because page has a reference to the memcg. If we really want to make the get_mem_cgroup_from_page() suitable for arbitrary page, we should use page_memcg_rcu() instead of page_memcg() and call it after rcu_read_lock().
