Subject: [PATCH 2/6] add res_counter_uncharge_until()

From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@...il.com>

At killing res_counter which is a child of other counter,
we need to do
	res_counter_uncharge(child, xxx)
	res_counter_charge(parent, xxx)

This is not atomic and wasting cpu. This patch adds
res_counter_uncharge_until(). This function's uncharge propagates
to ancestors until specified res_counter.

	res_counter_uncharge_until(child, parent, xxx)

Now, ops is atomic and efficient.

Changelog since v2
 - removed unnecessary lines.
 - Fixed 'From' , this patch comes from his series. Please signed-off-by if good.
