Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 1/2] tcp: account for memory pressure signaled by cgroup

This patch is a result of our long-standing debug sessions, where it all
started as "networking is slow", and TCP network throughput suddenly
dropped from tens of Gbps to few Mbps, and we could not see anything in
the kernel log or netstat counters.

Currently, we have two memory pressure counters for TCP sockets [1],
which we manipulate only when the memory pressure is signalled through
the proto struct [2]. However, the memory pressure can also be signaled
through the cgroup memory subsystem, which we do not reflect in the
netstat counters. In the end, when the cgroup memory subsystem signals
that it is under pressure, we silently reduce the advertised TCP window
with tcp_adjust_rcv_ssthresh() to 4*advmss, which causes a significant
throughput reduction.

So this patch adds a new counter to account for memory pressure
signaled by the memory cgroup, so it is much easier to spot.
