The reason this_cpu_add() is moved to after the switch is because the
switch is needed to convert the input parameter from an enum
mem_cgroup_write_page_stat_item (example: MEMCG_NR_FILE_MAPPED) to enum
mem_cgroup_stat_index (example: MEM_CGROUP_STAT_FILE_MAPPED) before
indexing into the count array.

Also in subsequent patches (in this series) "val" is updated depending
on page_cgroup flags before usage by this_cpu_add().
