memcg: implement mem_cgroup_css_from_page()

Implement mem_cgroup_css_from_page() which returns the
cgroup_subsys_state of the memcg associated with a given page on the
default hierarchy.  This will be used by cgroup writeback support.

This function assumes that page->mem_cgroup association doesn't change
until the page is released, which is true on the default hierarchy as
long as replace_page_cache_page() is not used.  As the only user of
replace_page_cache_page() is FUSE which won't support cgroup writeback
for the time being, this works for now, and replace_page_cache_page()
will soon be updated so that the invariant actually holds.

Note that the RCU protected page->mem_cgroup access is consistent with
other usages across memcg but ultimately incorrect.  These unlocked
accesses are missing required barriers.  page->mem_cgroup should be
made an RCU pointer and updated and accessed using RCU operations.

v4: Instead of triggering WARN, return the root css on the traditional
    hierarchies.  This makes the function a lot easier to deal with
    especially as there's no light way to synchronize against
    hierarchy rebinding.

v3: s/mem_cgroup_migrate()/mem_cgroup_css_from_page()/

v2: Trigger WARN if the function is used on the traditional
    hierarchies and add comment about the assumed invariant.
