[PATCH v3 3/6] mm/list_lru: code clean up for reparenting

[Kairui Song <ryncsn@gmail.com>]

From: Kairui Song <kasong@tencent.com>

No feature change, just change of code structure and fix comment.

The list lrus are not empty until memcg_reparent_list_lru_node() calls
are all done, so the comments in memcg_offline_kmem were slightly
inaccurate.
