Subject: [RFC][-mm] Memory controller add mm->owner
This patch removes the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds
an owner. This approach was suggested by Paul Menage. The advantage of
this approach is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem
id, the cgroup can be determined. It also allows several control groups
that are virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller,
to mm_struct.
The code initially assigns mm->owner to the task and then after the
thread group leader is identified. The mm->owner is changed to the thread
group leader of the task later at the end of copy_process.
