Subject: [PATCH] memcg: Set memory min, low, high values along with max

From: Shaun Tancheff <shaun@...cheff.com>

memcg-v1 does not expose memory min, low, and high.

These values should to be set to reasonable non-zero values
when max is set.

This patch sets them to 10%, 20% and 80% respective to max.

This fixes an issue with memory pressure with file systems
do an unbounded high rate of I/O hitting oom.
