Hm, NULL pointer dereference in mem_cgroup_page_lruvec() via comaction tend to
mean pc->mem_cgroup was NULL...
IIUC,
- compaction get pages from LRU list and isolate/migrate them. So, When pages
on LRU were migrated by compact_zone(), pc->mem_cgroup never be NULL..
- All newly allocated pages for migration will be reset by mem_cgroup_reset_owner().
Hm, something unexpected happens..
