Subject: [PATCH -v2 2/6] memcg: cleanup charge routines

The current core of memcg charging is wild to say the least.
__mem_cgroup_try_charge which is in the center tries to be too clever
and it handles two independent cases
	* when the memcg to be charged is known in advance
	* when the given mm_struct is charged
The resulting callchains are quite complex:

memcg_charge_kmem(mm=NULL, memcg)  mem_cgroup_newpage_charge(mm)
 |                                | _________________________________________ mem_cgroup_cache_charge(current->mm)
 |                                |/                                            |
 | ______________________________ mem_cgroup_charge_common(mm, memcg=NULL)      |
 |/                                                                             /
 |                                                                             /
 | ____________________________ mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin(mm, memcg=NULL)  /
 |/                               | _________________________________________/
 |                                |/
 |                                |                         /* swap accounting */   /* no swap accounting */
 | _____________________________  __mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin(mm=NULL, memcg) || (mm, memcg=NULL)

__mem_cgroup_try_charge
  mem_cgroup_do_charge
    res_counter_charge
    mem_cgroup_reclaim
    mem_cgroup_wait_acct_move
    mem_cgroup_oom

This patch splits __mem_cgroup_try_charge into two logical parts.
mem_cgroup_try_charge_mm which is responsible for charges for the given
mm_struct and it returns the charged memcg or NULL under OOM while
mem_cgroup_try_charge_memcg charges a known memcg and returns an error
code.

The only tricky part which remains is __mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin
because it can return 0 if PageCgroupUsed is already set and then we do
not want to commit the charge. This is done with a magic combination of
memcg = NULL and ret = 0. So the function preserves its memcgp parameter
and sets the given memcg to NULL when it sees PageCgroupUsed
(__mem_cgroup_commit_charge_swapin then ignores such a commit).

Not only the code is easier to follow the change reduces the code size
too:
size mm/built-in.o.before mm/built-in.o.after
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
464718   83038   49904  597660   91e9c mm/built-in.o.before
463894   83038   49904  596836   91b64 mm/built-in.o.after

- * __mem_cgroup_try_charge() does
- * 1. detect memcg to be charged against from passed *mm and *ptr,
- * 2. update res_counter
- * 3. call memory reclaim if necessary.
- *
- * In some special case, if the task is fatal, fatal_signal_pending() or
- * has TIF_MEMDIE, this function returns -EINTR while writing root_mem_cgroup
- * to *ptr. There are two reasons for this. 1: fatal threads should quit as soon
- * as possible without any hazards. 2: all pages should have a valid
- * pc->mem_cgroup. If mm is NULL and the caller doesn't pass a valid memcg
- * pointer, that is treated as a charge to root_mem_cgroup.
- *
- * So __mem_cgroup_try_charge() will return
- *  0       ...  on success, filling *ptr with a valid memcg pointer.
- *  -ENOMEM ...  charge failure because of resource limits.
- *  -EINTR  ...  if thread is fatal. *ptr is filled with root_mem_cgroup.
+ * mem_cgroup_try_charge_memcg - core of the memcg charging code. The caller
+ * keeps a css reference to the given memcg. We do not charge root_mem_cgroup.
+ * OOM is triggered only if allowed by the given oom parameter (except for
+ * __GFP_NOFAIL when it is ignored).
  *
- * Unlike the exported interface, an "oom" parameter is added. if oom==true,
- * the oom-killer can be invoked.
+ * Returns 0 on success, -ENOMEM when the given memcg is under OOM and -EINTR
+ * when the charge is bypassed (either when fatal signals are pending or
+ * __GFP_NOFAIL allocation cannot be charged).
