[PATCH v4 1/4] mm: memcontrol: use helpers to access page's memcg data

[Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com>]

Currently there are many open-coded reads and writes of the
page->mem_cgroup pointer, as well as a couple of read helpers,
which are barely used.

It creates an obstacle on a way to reuse some bits of the pointer
for storing additional bits of information. In fact, we already do
this for slab pages, where the last bit indicates that a pointer has
an attached vector of objcg pointers instead of a regular memcg
pointer.

This commits uses 2 existing helpers and introduces 2 new helpers to
converts all raw accesses to page->mem_cgroup to calls of these helpers:
  struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg(struct page *page);
  struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_rcu(struct page *page);
  struct mem_cgroup *page_memcg_check(struct page *page);
  void set_page_memcg(struct page *page, struct mem_cgroup *memcg);

page_memcg_check() is intended to be used in cases when the page
can be a slab page and have a memcg pointer pointing at objcg vector.
It does check the lowest bit, and if set, returns NULL.
page_memcg() contains a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() check for the page not
being a slab page. So does set_page_memcg().

To make sure nobody uses a direct access, struct page's
mem_cgroup/obj_cgroups is converted to unsigned long memcg_data.
Only new helpers and a couple of slab-accounting related functions
access this field directly.
