This patch:

Remove refcnt from page_cgroup().

After this,

 * A page is charged only when !page_mapped() && no page_cgroup is assigned.
	* Anon page is newly mapped.
	* File page is added to mapping->tree.

 * A page is uncharged only when
	* Anon page is fully unmapped.
	* File page is removed from LRU.

There is no change in behavior from user's view.

This patch also removes unnecessary calls in rmap.c which was used only for
refcnt mangement.
