[PATCH v5 10/32] writeback: prevent memory cgroup release in writeback module

[Qi Zheng <qi.zheng@linux.dev>]

From: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com>

In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding
memory cgroup. To ensure safety, it will only be appropriate to
hold the rcu read lock or acquire a reference to the memory cgroup
returned by folio_memcg(), thereby preventing it from being released.

In the current patch, the function get_mem_cgroup_css_from_folio()
and the rcu read lock are employed to safeguard against the release
of the memory cgroup.

This serves as a preparatory measure for the reparenting of the
LRU pages.
