Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcontrol: fix root_mem_cgroup charging

The below scenario can cause the page counters of the root_mem_cgroup
to be out of balance.

CPU0:                                   CPU1:

objcg = get_obj_cgroup_from_current()
obj_cgroup_charge_pages(objcg)
                                        memcg_reparent_objcgs()
                                            // reparent to root_mem_cgroup
                                            WRITE_ONCE(iter->memcg, parent)
    // memcg == root_mem_cgroup
    memcg = get_mem_cgroup_from_objcg(objcg)
    // do not charge to the root_mem_cgroup
    try_charge(memcg)

obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages(objcg)
    memcg = get_mem_cgroup_from_objcg(objcg)
    // uncharge from the root_mem_cgroup
    page_counter_uncharge(&memcg->memory)

This can cause the page counter to be less than the actual value,
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.
