mm: memcg: update the correct soft limit tree during migration
end_migration() passes the old page instead of the new page to commit the charge. This page descriptor is not used for committing itself, though, since we also pass the (correct) page_cgroup descriptor. But it's used to find the soft limit tree through the page's zone, so the soft limit tree of the old page's zone is updated instead of that of the new page's, which might get slightly out of date until the next charge reaches the ratelimit point. This glitch has been present since 5564e88b ("memcg: condense page_cgroup-to-page lookup points"). This fixes a bug that I introduced in 2.6.38. It's benign enough (to my knowledge) that we probably don't want this for stable.
