Subject: [PATCH 2/12] memcg move charege() call to swapped-in page under
 lock_page()

While page-cache's charge/uncharge is done under page_lock(), swap-cache
isn't. (anonymous page is charged when it's newly allocated.)

This patch moves do_swap_page()'s charge() call under lock. This helps
us to avoid to charge already mapped one, unnecessary calls.
