memcg: make mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() more efficient
In split_huge_page(), mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() is called to handle
page_cgroup modifcations.  It takes move_lock_page_cgroup() and modifies
page_cgroup and LRU accounting jobs and called HPAGE_PMD_SIZE - 1 times.

But thinking again,
  - compound_lock() is held at move_accout...then, it's not necessary
    to take move_lock_page_cgroup().
  - LRU is locked and all tail pages will go into the same LRU as
    head is now on.
  - page_cgroup is contiguous in huge page range.

This patch fixes mem_cgroup_split_huge_fixup() as to be called once per
hugepage and reduce costs for spliting.
