memcg: fix memory migration of shmem swapcache
In the current implementation mem_cgroup_end_migration() decides whether the page migration has succeeded or not by checking "oldpage->mapping". But if we are tring to migrate a shmem swapcache, the page->mapping of it is NULL from the begining, so the check would be invalid. As a result, mem_cgroup_end_migration() assumes the migration has succeeded even if it's not, so "newpage" would be freed while it's not uncharged. This patch fixes it by passing mem_cgroup_end_migration() the result of the page migration.
