mm: charge active memcg when no mm is set
set_active_memcg() worked for kernel allocations but was silently ignored
for user pages.
This patch establishes a precedence order for who gets charged:
1. If there is a memcg associated with the page already, that memcg is
charged. This happens during swapin.
2. If an explicit mm is passed, mm->memcg is charged. This happens
during page faults, which can be triggered in remote VMs (eg gup).
3. Otherwise consult the current process context. If there is an
active_memcg, use that. Otherwise, current->mm->memcg.
Previously, if a NULL mm was passed to mem_cgroup_charge (case 3) it would
always charge the root cgroup. Now it looks up the active_memcg first
(falling back to charging the root cgroup if not set).
