page_cgroup: fix horrid swap accounting regression
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.
