[RFC][PATCH 0/4][mmotm] memcg: reduce lock contention v3

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

This patch series is for reducing memcg's lock contention on res_counter, v3.
(sending today just for reporting current status in my stack.)

It's reported that memcg's res_counter can cause heavy false sharing / lock
conention and scalability is not good. This is for relaxing that.
No terrible bugs are found, I'll maintain/update this until the end of next
merge window. Tests on big-smp and new-good-idea are welcome.

This patch is on to mmotm+Nishimura's fix + Hugh's get_user_pages() patch.
But can be applied directly against mmotm, I think.

numbers:

I used 8cpu x86-64 box and run make -j 12 kernel.
Before make, make clean and drop_caches.

you can see 'sys' is reduced.

Thanks,
