Subject: [RFC][PATCH 1/4] memcg: simplify page cache charging

This is an add-on patches to mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(), introducing
new LRU rule under memcg, finally. After this, lru handling will be
much simplified. (all pathces are based on 3.2.0-rc4-next-20111205+)

But this is experimental... I may forget some important corner cases.

Subject: [PATCH 1/4] memcg: simplify page cache charging.

Because of commit ef6a3c6311, FUSE uses replace_page_cache() instead
of add_to_page_cache(). Then, mem_cgroup_cache_charge() is not
called against FUSE's pages from splice.

So, Now, mem_cgroup_cache_charge() doesn't receive a page on LRU
unless it's not SwapCache.
For checking, WARN_ON_ONCE(PageLRU(page)) is added.
