Since the dying flag of a memcg is not set under split_queue_lock,
two threads holding different split_queue_locks (e.g., one for the
parent memcg and one for the child) can concurrently manipulate the
same split-queue list of a folio. I think we should take the same
solution like list_lru does to fix this.
Muchun,
Thanks.
