Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/memcg: Fix incorrect flushing of lruvec data in obj_stock

When mod_objcg_state() is called with a pgdat that is different from
that in the obj_stock, the old lruvec data cached in obj_stock are
flushed out. Unfortunately, they were flushed to the new pgdat and
so the data go to the wrong node. This will screw up the slab data
reported in /sys/devices/system/node/node*/meminfo.

Fix that by flushing the data to the cached pgdat instead.

Fixes: 68ac5b3c8db2 ("mm/memcg: cache vmstat data in percpu memcg_stock_pcp")
