[PATCH] mm/memcg: update page struct member in comments

[Alex Shi]

The page->mem_cgroup member is replaced by memcg_data, and add a helper
page_memcg() for it. Need to update comments to avoid confusing.

I'm not an expert in this code but IMO the pointer manipulation of
page->mem_cgroup could be thought of as local to the code in mm/memcontrol.c.
As such the detail of the member of the page struct that the code depends on is
a valuable part of the comment.  Having to look at page_memcg() to find out
this information is kind of annoying.

Hi Alex,

thank you for bringing it in!
I definitely missed those.

There are "page and memcg binding" and "page's memcg" used in similar cases,
I think it's more obvious than "page_memcg(page) being stable".

Maybe it helps to address Ira's comment.

Anyway, please feel free to add:
