While moving charges from one memcg to another, page stat updates must
acquire the old memcg's move_lock to prevent double accounting. That
situation is denoted by an increased memcg->move_accounting. However,
the charge moving code declares this way too early for now, even
before summing up the RSS and pre-allocating destination charges.
Shorten this slowpath mode by increasing memcg->move_accounting only
right before walking the task's address space with the intention of
actually moving the pages.
