memcg: simplify force_empty and move_lists

Browse Source 
As for force_empty, though this may not be the main topic here,
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() can be implemented simpler.  It is possible to
make the function just call mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() instead of releasing
page_cgroups by itself.  The tip is to call get_page() before invoking
mem_cgroup_uncharge_page(), so the page won't be released during this
function.

Kamezawa-san points out that by the time mem_cgroup_uncharge_page() uncharges,
the page might have been reassigned to an lru of a different mem_cgroup, and
now be emptied from that; but Hugh claims that's okay, the end state is the
same as when it hasn't gone to another list.

And once force_empty stops taking lock_page_cgroup within mz->lru_lock,
mem_cgroup_move_lists() can be simplified to take mz->lru_lock directly while
holding page_cgroup lock (but still has to use try_lock_page_cgroup).
