Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] sock: Always take memcg pressure into consideration

The sk_under_memory_pressure() is called to check whether there is
memory pressure related to this socket. But now it ignores the net-
memcg's pressure if the proto of the socket doesn't care about the
global pressure, which may put burden on its memcg compaction or
reclaim path (also remember that socket memory is un-reclaimable).

So always check the memcg's vm status to alleviate memstalls when
it's in pressure.
