Subject: mm: memcontrol: fix get_active_memcg return value

We use a global percpu int_active_memcg variable to store the remote memcg
when we are in the interrupt context.  But get_active_memcg always return
the current->active_memcg or root_mem_cgroup.  The remote memcg (set in
the interrupt context) is ignored.  This is not what we want.  So fix it.
