Thank you for your patient good test!

I'm now testing following (and will do over-night test.)
In this an hour, this seems to work good. 
(under your test which usually panics in 10-20min on my box.)

page_cgroup is not valid until pc->mem_cgroup is set to appropriate value.
There is a small race between Set-Used-Bit and Set-Proper-pc->mem_cgroup.
This patch tries to fix that by adding PCG_VALID bit
