Page writeback doesn't hold a page reference, which allows truncate to
free a page the second PageWriteback is cleared. This used to require
special attention in test_clear_page_writeback(), where we had to be
careful not to rely on the unstable page->memcg binding and look up all
the necessary information before clearing the writeback flag.
Since commit 073861ed77b6 ("mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and
BUG_ON(PageWriteback)") test_clear_page_writeback() is called with an
explicit reference on the page, and this dance is no longer needed.
Use unlock_page_memcg() and dec_lruvec_page_state() directly.
This removes the last user of the lock_page_memcg() return value, change
it to void. Touch up the comments in there as well. This also removes
the last extern user of __unlock_page_memcg(), make it static. Further,
it removes the last user of dec_lruvec_state(), delete it, along with a
few other unused helpers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
