Subject: [PATCH 3/4] memcg: fix LRU accounting with THP


From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>

memory cgroup's LRU stat should take care of size of pages because
Transparent Hugepage inserts hugepage into LRU.
If this value is the number wrong, memory reclaim will not work well.

Note: only head page of THP's huge page is linked into LRU.
