Subject: [PATCH] mm, memcg: fix mem_cgroup_swapout() for THPs

The commit d6810d730022 ("memcg, THP, swap: make mem_cgroup_swapout()
support THP") changed mem_cgroup_swapout() to support transparent huge
page (THP). However the patch missed one location which should be
changed for correctly handling THPs. The resulting bug will cause the
memory cgroups whose THPs were swapped out to become zombies on
deletion.

Fixes: d6810d730022 ("memcg, THP, swap: make mem_cgroup_swapout() support THP")
