Subject: [RFC 1/1] mm, memcg: add prioritized reclaim

When a system is under memory pressure, it may be beneficial to prioritize
some memory cgroups to keep their pages resident ahead of other cgroups'
pages. Add a new interface to memory cgroups, memory.priority, that enables
kswapd and direct reclaim to scan more pages in lower-priority cgroups
before looking at higher-priority cgroups.
