Subject: [RFC][PATCH 7/7][memcg] use spin lock instead of bit_spin_lock in
 page_cgroup

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

This patch replaces page_cgroup's bit_spinlock with spinlock. In general,
spinlock has good implementation than bit_spin_lock and we should use
it if we have a room for it. In 64bit arch, we have extra 4bytes.
Let's use it.
