memcg: better migration handling

This patch changes page migration under memory controller to use a
different algorithm.  (thanks to Christoph for new idea.)

Before:
 - page_cgroup is migrated from an old page to a new page.
After:
 - a new page is accounted , no reuse of page_cgroup.

Pros:

 - We can avoid compliated lock depndencies and races in migration.

Cons:

 - new param to mem_cgroup_charge_common().

 - mem_cgroup_getref() is added for handling ref_cnt ping-pong.

This version simplifies complicated lock dependency in page migraiton
under memory resource controller.

  new refcnt sequence is following.

a mapped page:
  prepage_migration() ..... +1 to NEW page
  try_to_unmap()      ..... all refs to OLD page is gone.
  move_pages()        ..... +1 to NEW page if page cache.
  remap...            ..... all refs from *map* is added to NEW one.
  end_migration()     ..... -1 to New page.

  page's mapcount + (page_is_cache) refs are added to NEW one.
