The current implementation of swap cgroup tracking is a bit complex
and fragile:

On charging path, swap_cgroup_record always records an actual memcg id,
and it depends on the caller to make sure all entries passed in must
belong to one single folio. As folios are always charged or uncharged
as a whole, and always charged and uncharged in order, swap_cgroup
doesn't need an extra lock.

On uncharging path, swap_cgroup_record always sets the record to zero.
These entries won't be charged again until uncharging is done. So there
is no extra lock needed either. Worth noting that swap cgroup clearing
may happen without folio involved, eg. exiting processes will zap its
page table without swapin.

The xchg/cmpxchg provides atomic operations and barriers to ensure
no tearing or synchronization issue of these swap cgroup records.

It works but quite error-prone. Things can be much clear and
robust by decoupling recording and clearing into two helpers.
Recording takes the actual folio being charged as argument, and
clearing always set the record to zero, and refine the debug
sanity checks to better reflect their usage

Benchmark even showed a very slight improvement as it saved some
extra arguments and lookups:

make -j96 with defconfig on tmpfs in 1.5G memory cgroup using 4k folios:
Before: sys 9617.23 (stdev 37.764062)
After : sys 9541.54 (stdev 42.973976)

make -j96 with defconfig on tmpfs in 2G memory cgroup using 64k folios:
Before: sys 7358.98 (stdev 54.927593)
After : sys 7337.82 (stdev 39.398956)
