Sorry, I found BUG in this patch.
 mem_cgroup_charge_common() has unnecessary page_cgroup_unlock().

replacement is here. tested under x86_64/fake numa + CONFIG_PREEPMT=y/n.

This patch adds following functions.
   - clear_page_cgroup(page, pc)
   - page_cgroup_assign_new_page_group(page, pc)

Mainly for cleanup.

A manner "check page->cgroup again after lock_page_cgroup()" is
implemented in straight way.

Changelog v3 -> v4:
 * fixes wrong unlock_page_cgroup()
Chnagelog v2 -> v3:
  * adjusted to 2.6.23-mm1
Changelog v1 -> v2:
  * added necessary comments.

Note:
  - a comment in mem_cgroup_uncharge() will be removed by force-empty patch
