Subject: [RFC] [PATCH 5/9] memcg: set mapping null before uncharge

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 BUG_ON() to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page();
