Subject: [PATCH mmotm 1/2] memcg: add interface to reset limits

Setting mem.limit or memsw.limit to 0 has no meaning
in actual use(no process can run in such condition).

We don't have interface to reset mem.limit or memsw.limit now,
so let's reset the mem.limit or memsw.limit to default(unlimited)
when they are being set to 0.
