memcg: fix swap accounting leak

Fix swapin charge operation of memcg.

Now, memcg has hooks to swap-out operation and checks SwapCache is really
unused or not.  That check depends on contents of struct page.  I.e.  If
PageAnon(page) && page_mapped(page), the page is recoginized as
still-in-use.

Now, reuse_swap_page() calles delete_from_swap_cache() before establishment
of any rmap. Then, in followinig sequence

	(Page fault with WRITE)
	try_charge() (charge += PAGESIZE)
	commit_charge() (Check page_cgroup is used or not..)
	reuse_swap_page()
		-> delete_from_swapcache()
			-> mem_cgroup_uncharge_swapcache() (charge -= PAGESIZE)
	......
New charge is uncharged soon....
To avoid this,  move commit_charge() after page_mapcount() goes up to 1.
By this,

	try_charge()		(usage += PAGESIZE)
	reuse_swap_page()	(may usage -= PAGESIZE if PCG_USED is set)
	commit_charge()		(If page_cgroup is not marked as PCG_USED,
				 add new charge.)
Accounting will be correct.

Changelog (v2) -> (v3)
  - fixed invalid charge to swp_entry==0.
  - updated documentation.
Changelog (v1) -> (v2)
  - fixed comment.

 Because VM is getting complex (one of reasons is memcg...), memcg's behavior
 is complex. This is a document for memcg's internal behavior.
