[PATCH 13/13] memcg: swap accounting fix

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

There is a small race in do_swap_page(). When the page swapped-in is charged,
the mapcount can be greater than 0. But, at the same time some process (shares
it ) call unmap and make mapcount 1->0 and the page is uncharged.

For fixing this, I added a new interface.
  - precharge
   account to res_counter by PAGE_SIZE and try to free pages if necessary.
  - commit	
   register page_cgroup and add to LRU if necessary.
  - cancel
   uncharge PAGE_SIZE because of do_swap_page failure.

This protocol uses PCG_USED bit on page_cgroup for avoiding over accounting.
Usual mem_cgroup_charge_common() does precharge -> commit at a time.


These precharge/commit/cancel can be used for other places, shmem,
migration, etc..we'll revisit later.
