Subject: [PATCH  1/21] memcg-revert-gfp-mask-fix.patch

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>

My patch, memcg-fix-gfp_mask-of-callers-of-charge.patch changed gfp_mask
of callers of charge to be GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE for showing what will happen
at memory reclaim.

But in recent discussion, it's NACKed because it sounds ugly.

This patch is for reverting it and add some clean up to gfp_mask of callers
of charge. No behavior change but need review before generating HUNK in deep
queue.

This patch also adds explanation to meaning of gfp_mask passed to charge
functions in memcontrol.h.
