Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/15] mm: memcontrol: fix page charging in page replacement

The pages aren't accounted at the root level, so do not charge the page
to the root memcg in page replacement. Although we do not display the
value (mem_cgroup_usage) so there shouldn't be any actual problem, but
there is a WARN_ON_ONCE in the page_counter_cancel(). Who knows if it
will trigger? So it is better to fix it.
