Subject: [PATCH 4.4 25/57] mm/list_lru.c: fix list_lru_count_node() to be race free

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sahitya Tummala <stummala@...eaurora.org>

commit 2c80cd57c74339889a8752b20862a16c28929c3a upstream.

list_lru_count_node() iterates over all memcgs to get the total number of
entries on the node but it can race with memcg_drain_all_list_lrus(),
which migrates the entries from a dead cgroup to another.  This can return
incorrect number of entries from list_lru_count_node().

Fix this by keeping track of entries per node and simply return it in
list_lru_count_node().
