Subject: mm, memcg: fix mem_cgroup_swapout() for THPs
d6810d730022 ("memcg, THP, swap: make mem_cgroup_swapout() support THP")
changed mem_cgroup_swapout() to support transparent huge page (THP).
However the patch missed one location which should be changed for
correctly handling THPs. The resulting bug will cause the memory cgroups
whose THPs were swapped out to become zombies on deletion.
