Subject: memcg: fix try_get_mem_cgroup_from_swapcache()
From: Daisuke Nishimura <nishimura@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This is a bugfix for commit 3c776e64660028236313f0e54f3a9945764422df
("memcg: charge swapcache to proper memcg").

Used bit of swapcache is solid under page lock, but considering
move_account, pc->mem_cgroup is not.

We need lock_page_cgroup() anyway.
