Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] mm: memcg: don't call propagate_protected_usage() needlessly

Memory protection (min/low) requires a constant tracking of
protected memory usage. propagate_protected_usage() is called
on each page counters update and does a number of operations
even in cases when the actual memory protection functionality
is not supported (e.g. hugetlb cgroups or memcg swap counters).

It's obviously inefficient and leads to a waste of CPU cycles.
It can be addressed by calling propagate_protected_usage() only
for the counters which do support memory guarantees. As of now
it's only memcg->memory - the unified memory memcg counter.
