Subject: [BUGFIX][PATCH] memcg fix wake up in oom wait queue

Tested on mmotm-2010-06-03 and works well.
==
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>

OOM-waitqueue should be waken up when oom_disable is canceled.
This is a fix for
 memcg-oom-kill-disable-and-oom-status.patch

How to test:
 Create a cgroup A...
 1. set memory.limit and memory.memsw.limit to be small value
 2. echo 1 > /cgroup/A/memory.oom_control, this disables oom-kill.
 3. run a program which must cause OOM.

A program executed in 3 will sleep by oom_waiqueue in memcg.
Then, how to wake it up is problem.

 1. echo 0 > /cgroup/A/memory.oom_control (enable OOM-killer)
 2. echo big mem > /cgroup/A/memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes(allow more swap)
etc..

Without the patch, a task in slept can not be waken up.
