[RFC PATCH 00/15] Use obj_cgroup APIs to charge the LRU pages

[Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com>]

Since the following patchsets applied. All the kernel memory are charged
with the new APIs of obj_cgroup.

	[v17,00/19] The new cgroup slab memory controller
	[v5,0/7] Use obj_cgroup APIs to charge kmem pages

But user memory allocations (LRU pages) pinning memcgs for a long time -
it exists at a larger scale and is causing recurring problems in the real
world: page cache doesn't get reclaimed for a long time, or is used by the
second, third, fourth, ... instance of the same job that was restarted into
a new cgroup every time. Unreclaimable dying cgroups pile up, waste memory,
and make page reclaim very inefficient.

We can convert LRU pages and most other raw memcg pins to the objcg direction
to fix this problem, and then the LRU pages will not pin the memcgs.

This patchset aims to make the LRU pages to drop the reference to memory
cgroup by using the APIs of obj_cgroup. Finally, we can see that the number
of the dying cgroups will not increase if we run the following test script.

```bash
#!/bin/bash

cat /proc/cgroups | grep memory

cd /sys/fs/cgroup/memory

for i in range{1..500}
do
	mkdir test
	echo $$ > test/cgroup.procs
	sleep 60 &
	echo $$ > cgroup.procs
	echo `cat test/cgroup.procs` > cgroup.procs
	rmdir test
done

cat /proc/cgroups | grep memory
```

Patch 1 aims to fix page charging in page replacement.
Patch 2-5 are code cleanup and simplification.
Patch 6-15 convert LRU pages pin to the objcg direction.
