memory cgroup catches all pages which is added to radix-tree and
assumes the pages will be added to LRU, somewhere.
But there are pages which not on LRU but on radix-tree. Then,
force_empty cannot find them and cannot finish ->pre_destroy(), rmdir
operations.

This patch adds __GFP_NOMEMCGROUP and avoids unnecessary, out-of-control
pages are registered to memory cgroup.

Note: This gfp flag can be used for shmem handling, which now uses
complicated heuristics.
