The logic of uncharging is 
 - decrement refcnt -> lock page cgroup -> remove page cgroup.
But the logic of charging is
 - lock page cgroup -> increment refcnt -> return.

Then, one charge will be added to a page_cgroup under being removed.
This makes no big trouble (like panic) but one charge is lost.

This patch add a test at charging to verify page_cgroup's refcnt is
greater than 0. If not, unlock and retry.
