Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] memcg: add memory.min

The new memory.min limit is similar to memory.low, just no bypassing it
when reclaim is desparate.  Prefer oom kills before reclaim memory below
memory.min.  Sharing more code with memory_cgroup_low() is possible, but
the idea is posted here for simplicity.
