[PATCH 2/2][-mm][resend] memcg limit change shrink usage.

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

Shrinking memory usage at limit change.

This is an enhancement (in TODO list).
based on res_counter-limit-change-ebusy.patch

Changelog: v2 -> v3
  - supported interrupt by signal. (A user can stop limit change by Ctrl-C.)
Changelog: v1 -> v2
  - adjusted to be based on write_string() patch set
  - removed backword goto.
  - removed unneccesary cond_resched().
