mm: memcontrol: do not uncharge old page in page cache replacement
Changing page->mem_cgroup of a live page is tricky and fragile. In particular, the memcg writeback code relies on that mapping being stable and users of mem_cgroup_replace_page() not overlapping with dirtyable inodes. Page cache replacement doesn't have to do that, though. Instead of being clever and transferring the charge from the old page to the new, force-charge the new page and leave the old page alone. A temporary overcharge won't matter in practice, and the old page is going to be freed shortly after this anyway. And this is not performance critical.
