Exactly what I've said in the previous version review. I suspect that
the issue is that mem_cgroup_page_nodeinfo (based on page's node_id)
and the given pgdat can mismatch in the existing code but that shouldn't
be a real problem because the mismatch can only happen for lruvec->pgdat
== NULL unless I am missing something.
