I messed up here.

mem_cgroup_swapout() must not run on cgroup2, because cgroup2 uses
mem_cgroup_try_charge_swap() instead. Both record a swap entry and
running them both will trigger a VM_BUG_ON() on an existing record.

I'm actually somewhat baffled why this didn't trigger in my
MADV_PAGEOUT -> MADV_WILLNEED swap test. memory.max driven swapout
triggered it right away.

!do_memsw_account() needs to be !cgroup_subsys_on_dfl(memory_cgrp_subsys)

And this can be !cgroup_memory_noswap instead. It'll do the same
thing, but will be clearer.

I'll have it fixed in version 2.
