Thanks for the fix.  I have a few comments below.  Only nitpicks
though, the patch looks correct to me.

Do we need the extra check?  mem_cgroup_lru_del_before_commit() will
do the right thing if the page is not on the list.

Same here, mem_cgroup_lru_add_after_commit() has its own check for
PG_lru.

I think the comment about why we need to take care of the LRU status
would make more sense here (rather than in the _lrucare function),
because it is here where you make handling the lru a consequence of
the page being a file page.

How about this?
