Subject: [PATCH -mm 10/13] memcg, THP, swap: Avoid to duplicated charge THP in swap cache

From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@...el.com>

For a THP (Transparent Huge Page), tail_page->mem_cgroup is NULL.  So
to check whether the page is charged already, we need to check the
head page.  This is not an issue before because it is impossible for a
THP to be in the swap cache before.  But after we add delaying
splitting THP after swapped out support, it is possible now.
