Well it is what dummy page is for, i wanted to keep code as close
to existing to make it easier for people to see that there was no
logic change with that patch.

So at begining ug->memcg is NULL and so is ug->dummy_page, after first
call to uncharge_page() if ug->memcg isn't NULL then ug->dummy_page
points to a valid page. So uncharge_batch() can never be call with
dummy_page == NULL same as before this patch.

Yeah probably good thing to add. I will add it as part of the
other memcontrol patch as i want to keep this one about moving
stuff around with no logic change.

Thanks for reviewing
