Subject: [patch] mm: memcontrol: use page lists for uncharge batching fix - hugetlb page->lru

Naoya-san reports that page->lru of hugetlb pages gets corrupted when
they hit the uncharge path from put_page().

Add a preliminary check for whether the page is even a valid memcg
page before messing with it's ->lru list.
