[PATCH] mm/oom_kill: count global and memory cgroup oom kills

[Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru>]

Show count of global oom killer invocations in /proc/vmstat and
count of oom kills inside memory cgroup in knob "memory.events"
(in memory.oom_control for v1 cgroup).

Also describe difference between "oom" and "oom_kill" in memory
cgroup documentation. Currently oom in memory cgroup kills tasks
iff shortage has happened inside page fault.

These counters helps in monitoring oom kills - for now
the only way is grepping for magic words in kernel log.
