mm: page-writeback: simplify memcg handling in test_clear_page_writeback()
Page writeback doesn't hold a page reference, which allows truncate to free a page the second PageWriteback is cleared. This used to require special attention in test_clear_page_writeback(), where we had to be careful not to rely on the unstable page->memcg binding and look up all the necessary information before clearing the writeback flag. Since commit 073861ed ("mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and BUG_ON(PageWriteback)") test_clear_page_writeback() is called with an explicit reference on the page, and this dance is no longer needed. Use unlock_page_memcg() and dec_lruvec_page_state() directly. This removes the last user of the lock_page_memcg() return value, change it to void. Touch up the comments in there as well. This also removes the last extern user of __unlock_page_memcg(), make it static. Further, it removes the last user of dec_lruvec_state(), delete it, along with a few other unused helpers.
