In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding memory
cgroup.  To ensure safety, it will only be appropriate to hold the rcu
read lock or acquire a reference to the memory cgroup returned by
folio_memcg(), thereby preventing it from being released.

In the current patch, the function get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() is employed
to safeguard against the release of the memory cgroup.  This serves as a
preparatory measure for the reparenting of the LRU pages.
