[PATCH v1 6/7] mm/vmscan: allow changing page memory cgroup during reclaim

[Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All LRU lists in one numa node are protected with one spin-lock and
right now move_pages_to_lru() re-evaluates lruvec for each page.
This allows to change page cgroup while page is isolated by reclaimer,
but nobody use that for now. This patch makes this feature clear and
passes into move_pages_to_lru pgdat rather than lruvec pointer.
