Subject: [RFC][PATCH -mm 6/7] memcg:
 make-mapping-null-before-calling-uncharge.patch

This patch tries to make page->mapping to be NULL before
mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() is called.

"page->mapping == NULL" is a good check for "whether the page is still
radix-tree or not".

This patch also adds VM_BUG_ON() to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page();
