[patch 1/3] mm: memcontrol: take a css reference for each charged page

[Johannes Weiner]

Charges currently pin the css indirectly by playing tricks during
css_offline(): user pages stall the offlining process until all of
them have been reparented, whereas kmemcg acquires a keep-alive
reference if outstanding kernel pages are detected at that point.

In preparation for removing all this complexity, make the pinning
explicit and acquire a css references for every charged page.
