[RFC 1/4] memcg: drop pages at rmdir (v1)

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>]

Now, when we remove memcg, we call force_empty().
This call drops all page_cgroup accounting in this mem_cgroup but doesn't
drop pages. So, some page caches can be remaind as "not accounted" memory
while they are alive. (because it's accounted only when add_to_page_cache())
If they are not used by other memcg, global LRU will drop them.

This patch tries to drop pages at removing memcg. Other memcg will
reload and re-account page caches. (but this will increase page-in
after rmdir().)

Consideration: should we recharge all pages to the parent at last ?
               But it's not precise logic.

Changelog v1->v2
 - renamed res_counter_empty().
