Subject: [PATCH v2] Port hierarchical_{memory,swap}_limit cgroup1->cgroup2

Hello,

cgroup1 (by function memcg1_stat_format) already contains two lines
	hierarchical_memory_limit %llu
	hierarchical_memsw_limit %llu

which are useful for userland to easily and performance-wise find out the
effective cgroup limits being applied. Otherwise userland has to
open+read+close the file "memory.max" and/or "memory.swap.max" in multiple
parent directories of a nested cgroup.

For cgroup1 it was implemented by:
	memcg: show real limit under hierarchy mode
	https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/fee7b548e6f2bd4bfd03a1a45d3afd593de7d5e9
	Date:   Wed Jan 7 18:08:26 2009 -0800

But for cgroup2 it has been missing so far, this is just a copy-paste of the
cgroup1 code while changing s/memsw/swap/ as that is what cgroup1 vs. cgroup2
tracks. I have added it to the end of "memory.stat" to prevent possible
compatibility problems with existing code parsing that file.
