[patch 155/173] mm/compaction: remove rcu_read_lock during page compaction

Subject: mm/compaction: remove rcu_read_lock during page compaction

isolate_migratepages_block() used rcu_read_lock() with the intention of
safeguarding against the mem_cgroup being destroyed concurrently; but its
TestClearPageLRU already protects against that.  Delete the unnecessary
rcu_read_lock() and _unlock().

Hugh Dickins helped on commit log polishing, Thanks!
