you're right, I'm wrong. fixed one is here. (confirmed by make mm/page_cgroup.i)

page_cgroup_init() is called from mem_cgroup_init(). But at this
point, we cannot call alloc_bootmem().
(and this caused panic at boot.)

This patch moves page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c.

Time table is following:
==
  parse_args(). # we can trust mem_cgroup_subsys.disabled bit after this.
  ....
  cgroup_init_early()  # "early" init of cgroup.
  ....
  setup_arch()         # memmap is allocated.
  ...
  page_cgroup_init();
  mem_init();   # we cannot call alloc_bootmem after this.
  ....
  cgroup_init() # mem_cgroup is initialized.
==

Before page_cgroup_init(), mem_map must be initialized. So, 
I added page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c directly.

(*) maybe this is not very clean but cgroup_init_early() is too early
    and we have to use vmalloc instead of alloc_bootmem() in cgroup_init().
    usage of vmalloc area in x86-32 is important and we should avoid
    vmalloc() in x86-32. So, we want to use alloc_bootmem() from
    sutaible place.
