[PATCH] memcg: avoid unnecessary initialization

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

An easy cut out from memcg: performance improvement patch set.
Tested on: x86-64/linux-2.6.26-rc1-git6

Thanks,
-Kame
==
* remove over-killing initialization (in fast path)
* makeing the condition for PAGE_CGROUP_FLAG_ACTIVE be more obvious.
