memory_cgrp_subsys is not early initialized, so at the beginning of boot
root_mem_cgroup is NULL, and pages will use &pgdat->deferred_split_queue
list head. But after root_mem_cgroup is initialized, another list head
will be used, won't it?! So there will be two different list heads used
for same cgroup.

This may be a reason of a problem (I won't say you, where the problem will
occur).

Won't be better to assign

page->mem_cgroup = to;

after removing from one list and before linking to another list?
There is possible no a problem, but another people writing code
on top of this may not expect such the behavior.
