Ah, good catch! But hmmmmmm...
This account_page_dirtted() seems to be called under IRQ-disabled.
About  __remove_from_page_cache(), I think page_cgroup should have its own DIRTY flag,
then, mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() can handle it automatically.

But. there are no guarantee that following never happens. 
	lock_page_cgroup()
	    <=== interrupt.
	    -> mapping->tree_lock()
Even if mapping->tree_lock is held with IRQ-disabled.
Then, if we add local_irq_save(), we have to add it to all lock_page_cgroup().

Then, hm...some kind of new trick ? as..
(Follwoing patch is not tested!!)
