mm: memcontrol: fix NULL pointer crash in test_clear_page_writeback()

Jaegeuk and Brad report a NULL pointer crash when writeback ending tries
to update the memcg stats:

The issue is that writeback doesn't hold a page reference and the page
might get freed after PG_writeback is cleared (and the mapping is
unlocked) in test_clear_page_writeback().  The stat functions looking up
the page's node or zone are safe, as those attributes are static across
allocation and free cycles.  But page->mem_cgroup is not, and it will
get cleared if we race with truncation or migration.

It appears this race window has been around for a while, but less likely
to trigger when the memcg stats were updated first thing after
PG_writeback is cleared.  Recent changes reshuffled this code to update
the global node stats before the memcg ones, though, stretching the race
window out to an extent where people can reproduce the problem.

Update test_clear_page_writeback() to look up and pin page->mem_cgroup
before clearing PG_writeback, then not use that pointer afterward.  It
is a partial revert of 62cccb8c ("mm: simplify lock_page_memcg()")
but leaves the pageref-holding callsites that aren't affected alone.
