memcg: fix performance of mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() should be very fast because it's
called very frequently.  Now, it needs to look up page_cgroup and its
memcg....this is slow.
This patch adds a global variable to check "any memcg is moving or not".
With this, the caller doesn't need to visit page_cgroup and memcg.
Here is a test result.  A test program makes page faults onto a file,
MAP_SHARED and makes each page's page_mapcount(page) > 1, and free the
range by madvise() and page fault again.  This program causes 26214400
times of page fault onto a file(size was 1G.) and shows shows the cost of
mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat().
Before this patch for mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
    [kamezawa@bluextal test]$ time ./mmap 1G
    real    0m21.765s
    user    0m5.999s
    sys     0m15.434s
    27.46%     mmap  mmap               [.] reader
    21.15%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] page_fault
     9.17%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] filemap_fault
     2.96%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __do_fault
     2.83%     mmap  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat
After this patch
    [root@bluextal test]# time ./mmap 1G
    real    0m21.373s
    user    0m6.113s
    sys     0m15.016s
In usual path, calls to __mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat() goes away.
Note: we may be able to remove this optimization in future if
      we can get pointer to memcg directly from struct page.
