mm: memcontrol: shorten the page statistics update slowpath 

While moving charges from one memcg to another, page stat updates must
acquire the old memcg's move_lock to prevent double accounting.  That
situation is denoted by an increased memcg->move_accounting.  However, the
charge moving code declares this way too early for now, even before
summing up the RSS and pre-allocating destination charges.

Shorten this slowpath mode by increasing memcg->move_accounting only right
before walking the task's address space with the intention of actually
moving the pages.
