Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mm/memcg: remove rcu locking for lock_page_lruvec function series

The rcu_read_lock was used to block memcg destory, but with the detailed
calling conditions, the memcg won't gone since the page is hold. So we
don't need it now, let's remove them to save locking load in debugging.
