memcg: implement mem_cgroup_css_from_page()
Implement mem_cgroup_css_from_page() which returns the cgroup_subsys_state of the memcg associated with a given page on the default hierarchy. This will be used by cgroup writeback support. This function assumes that page->mem_cgroup association doesn't change until the page is released, which is true on the default hierarchy as long as replace_page_cache_page() is not used. As the only user of replace_page_cache_page() is FUSE which won't support cgroup writeback for the time being, this works for now, and replace_page_cache_page() will soon be updated so that the invariant actually holds. Note that the RCU protected page->mem_cgroup access is consistent with other usages across memcg but ultimately incorrect. These unlocked accesses are missing required barriers. page->mem_cgroup should be made an RCU pointer and updated and accessed using RCU operations. v4: Instead of triggering WARN, return the root css on the traditional hierarchies. This makes the function a lot easier to deal with especially as there's no light way to synchronize against hierarchy rebinding. v3: s/mem_cgroup_migrate()/mem_cgroup_css_from_page()/ v2: Trigger WARN if the function is used on the traditional hierarchies and add comment about the assumed invariant.
