mm: clean up and clarify lruvec lookup procedure



There is a per-memcg lruvec and a NUMA node lruvec.  Which one is being
used is somewhat confusing right now, and it's easy to make mistakes -
especially when it comes to global reclaim.

How it works: when memory cgroups are enabled, we always use the
root_mem_cgroup's per-node lruvecs.  When memory cgroups are not compiled
in or disabled at runtime, we use pgdat->lruvec.

Document that in a comment.

Due to the way the reclaim code is generalized, all lookups use the
mem_cgroup_lruvec() helper function, and nobody should have to find the
right lruvec manually right now.  But to avoid future mistakes, rename the
pgdat->lruvec member to pgdat->__lruvec and delete the convenience wrapper
that suggests it's a commonly accessed member.

While in this area, swap the mem_cgroup_lruvec() argument order.  The name
suggests a memcg operation, yet it takes a pgdat first and a memcg second.
I have to double take every time I call this.  Fix that.
