Memory controller: memory accounting
Add the accounting hooks. The accounting is carried out for RSS and Page
Cache (unmapped) pages. There is now a common limit and accounting for both.
The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap()
time. Page cache is accounted at add_to_page_cache(),
__delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for.
Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the
page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving
simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the
page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS
of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache.
Credits go to Vaidyanathan Srinivasan for helping with reference counting work
of the page cgroup. Almost all of the page cache accounting code has help
from Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.
