memcg: ensure list is empty at rmdir
Current mem_cgroup_force_empty() only ensures mem->res.usage == 0 on
success. But this doesn't guarantee memcg's LRU is really empty, because
there are some cases in which !PageCgrupUsed pages exist on memcg's LRU.
For example:
- Pages can be uncharged by its owner process while they are on LRU.
- race between mem_cgroup_add_lru_list() and __mem_cgroup_uncharge_common().
So there can be a case in which the usage is zero but some of the LRUs are not empty.
OTOH, mem_cgroup_del_lru_list(), which can be called asynchronously with
rmdir, accesses the mem_cgroup, so this access can cause a problem if it
races with rmdir because the mem_cgroup might have been freed by rmdir.
Actually, I saw a bug which seems to be caused by this race.

1530745.950651] Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!
The problem here is pages on LRU may contain pointer to stale memcg. To
make res->usage to be 0, all pages on memcg must be uncharged or moved to
another(parent) memcg. Moved page_cgroup have already removed from
original LRU, but uncharged page_cgroup contains pointer to memcg withou
PCG_USED bit. (This asynchronous LRU work is for improving performance.)
If PCG_USED bit is not set, page_cgroup will never be added to memcg's
LRU. So, about pages not on LRU, they never access stale pointer. Then,
what we have to take care of is page_cgroup _on_ LRU list. This patch
fixes this problem by making mem_cgroup_force_empty() visit all LRUs
before exiting its loop and guarantee there are no pages on its LRU.
