Why is memcg's swap accounting so broken? Insane counts, wrong
ownership, unfreeable structures, which later get freed and then
accessed after free.

Turns out to be a tiny a little 3.3-rc1 regression in 9fb4b7cc0724
"page_cgroup: add helper function to get swap_cgroup": the helper
function (actually named lookup_swap_cgroup()) returns an address using
void* arithmetic, but the structure in question is a short.
