    Now, you can see following even when swap accounting is enabled.
    
     1. Create Group 01, and 02.
     2. allocate a "file" on tmpfs by a task under 01.
     3. swap out the "file" (by memory pressure)
     4. Read "file" from a task in group 02.
     5. the charge of "file" is moved to group 02.
    
    This is not ideal behavior. This is because SwapCache which was loaded
    by read-ahead is not taken into account..
    
    This is a patch to fix shmem's swapcache behavior.
      - remove mem_cgroup_cache_charge_swapin().
      - Add SwapCache handler routine to mem_cgroup_cache_charge().
        By this, shmem's file cache is charged at add_to_page_cache()
        with GFP_NOWAIT.
      - pass the page of swapcache to shrink_mem_cgroup.
