Memory controller: add per cgroup LRU and reclaim

Add the page_cgroup to the per cgroup LRU.  The reclaim algorithm has
been modified to make the isolate_lru_pages() as a pluggable component.  The
scan_control data structure now accepts the cgroup on behalf of which
reclaims are carried out.  try_to_free_pages() has been extended to become
cgroup aware.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warning]
[Lee.Schermerhorn@hp.com: initialize all scan_control's isolate_pages member]
[bunk@kernel.org: make do_try_to_free_pages() static]
[hugh@veritas.com: memcgroup: fix try_to_free order]
