Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Memcgroup: implement failcounter reset

This is a very common requirement from people using the
resource accounting facilities (not only memcgroup but
also OpenVZ beancounters). They want to put the cgroup in
an initial state without re-creating it.

For example after re-configuring a group people want to
observe how this new configuration fits the group needs
without saving the previous failcnt value.

Merge two resets into one mem_cgroup_reset() function to
demonstrate how multiplexing work.

Besides, I have plans to move the files, that correspond to
res_counter to the res_counter.c file and somehow "import" 
them into controller. I don't know how to make it gracefully
yet, but merging resets of max_usage and failcnt in one 
function will be there for sure.
