Subject: [RFC][PATCH 6/8] soft limit victim select

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

Soft Limit victim selection/cache logic.

This patch implements victim selection logic and caching method.

victim memcg is selected in following way, assume a zone under shrinking
is specified. Selected memcg will be
  - has the highest priority (high usage)
  - has memory on the zone.

When a memcg is selected, it's rotated and cached per cpu with tickets.

This cache is refreshed when
  - given ticket is exhausetd
  - very long time since last update.
  - the cached memcg doesn't include proper zone.

Even when no proper memcg is not found in victim selection logic,
some tickets are assigned to NULL victim.

As softlimitq, this cache's information has 2 ents for anon and file.

TODO:
  - need to handle cpu hotplug (in other patch)
