mm/lru: introduce TestClearPageLRU()

Currently lru_lock still guards both lru list and page's lru bit, that's
ok.  but if we want to use specific lruvec lock on the page, we need to
pin down the page's lruvec/memcg during locking.  Just taking lruvec lock
first may be undermined by the page's memcg charge/migration.  To fix this
problem, we will clear the lru bit out of locking and use it as pin down
action to block the page isolation in memcg changing.

So now a standard steps of page isolation is following:
1, get_page();         #pin the page avoid to be free
2, TestClearPageLRU(); #block other isolation like memcg change
3, spin_lock on lru_lock; #serialize lru list access
4, delete page from lru list;

This patch start with the first part: TestClearPageLRU, which combines
PageLRU check and ClearPageLRU into a macro func TestClearPageLRU.  This
function will be used as page isolation precondition to prevent other
isolations some where else.  Then there are may !PageLRU page on lru list,
need to remove BUG() checking accordingly.

There 2 rules for lru bit now:
1, the lru bit still indicate if a page on lru list, just in some
   temporary moment(isolating), the page may have no lru bit when
   it's on lru list.  but the page still must be on lru list when the
   lru bit set.
2, have to remove lru bit before delete it from lru list.

As Andrew Morton mentioned this change would dirty cacheline for a page
which isn't on the LRU.  But the loss would be acceptable in Rong Chen
