mm/swap.c: serialize memcg changes in pagevec_lru_move_fn

Hugh Dickins' found a memcg change bug on original version: If we want to
change the pgdat->lru_lock to memcg's lruvec lock, we have to serialize
mem_cgroup_move_account during pagevec_lru_move_fn.  The possible bad
scenario would like:

cpu 0 cpu 1
lruvec = mem_cgroup_page_lruvec()
if (!isolate_lru_page())
mem_cgroup_move_account

spin_lock_irqsave(&lruvec->lru_lock <== wrong lock.

So we need TestClearPageLRU to block isolate_lru_page(), that serializes
the memcg change.  and then removing the PageLRU check in move_fn callee
as the consequence.

__pagevec_lru_add_fn() is different from the others, because the pages it
deals with are, by definition, not yet on the lru.  TestClearPageLRU is
not needed and would not work, so __pagevec_lru_add() goes its own way.
