> lock_page_lruvec() and its variants used rcu_read_lock() with the
> intention of safeguarding against the mem_cgroup being destroyed
> concurrently; but so long as they are called under the specified
> conditions (as they are), there is no way for the page's mem_cgroup
> to be destroyed.  Delete the unnecessary rcu_read_lock() and _unlock().
