memcg: css_put after remove_list
mem_cgroup_uncharge_page does css_put on the mem_cgroup before uncharging from
it, and before removing page_cgroup from one of its lru lists: isn't there a
danger that struct mem_cgroup memory could be freed and reused before
completing that, so corrupting something? Never seen it, and for all I know
there may be other constraints which make it impossible; but let's be
defensive and reverse the ordering there.
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list is safe because there's an extra css_get around
all its works; but even so, change its ordering the same way round, to help
get in the habit of doing it like this.
