Here is a diffuclut point. Please see mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup(). It splits
updates memcg's status of splitted pages under lru_lock and compound_lock
but not under mm->page_table_lock.
Looking into split_huge_page()
split_huge_page() # take anon_vma lock
__split_huge_page()
__split_huge_page_refcount() # take lru_lock, compound_lock.
mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup()
__split_huge_page_map() # take page table lock.
I'm not fully sure but IIUC, pmd_trans_huge_lock() just guarantees a huge page "map"
never goes out. To avoid page splitting itself, compound_lock() is required, I think.
So, the lock here should be
page = target.page;
isolate_lru_page(page);
flags = compound_lock_irqsave(page);

Here is PageTransHuge() is checked in mem_cgroup_move_account() and if !PageTransHuge(),
the function returns -EBUSY.
I'm not sure but....it's not worth to retry (but add a comment as FIXME later!)
compound_unlock_irqrestore(page);
I may miss something, please check carefully, again.
