memcg: remove PCG_MOVE_LOCK flag from page_cgroup
PCG_MOVE_LOCK is used for bit spinlock to avoid race between overwriting pc->mem_cgroup and page statistics accounting per memcg. This lock helps to avoid the race but the race is very rare because moving tasks between cgroup is not a usual job. So, it seems using 1bit per page is too costly. This patch changes this lock as per-memcg spinlock and removes PCG_MOVE_LOCK. If smaller lock is required, we'll be able to add some hashes but I'd like to start from this.
