It has also removed the css_put_many from uncharge_batch and that is causing the above splat. uncharge_batch is supposed to uncharge accumulated charges for all pages freed from the same memcg. The queuing is done by uncharge_page which however drops the memcg reference after it adds charges to the batch. If the current page happens to be the last one holding the reference for its memcg then the memcg is OK to go and the next page to be freed will trigger batched uncharge which needs to access the memcg which is gone already. Fix the issue by taking a reference for the memcg in the current batch.
