memcg: add per cgroup writeback pages accounting



Add memcg routines to count writeback pages, later dirty pages will also
be accounted.

After Kame's commit 89c06bd5 ("memcg: use new logic for page stat
accounting"), we can use 'struct page' flag to test page state instead
of per page_cgroup flag.  But memcg has a feature to move a page from a
cgroup to another one and may have race between "move" and "page stat
accounting".  So in order to avoid the race we have designed a new lock:

         mem_cgroup_begin_update_page_stat()
         modify page information        -->(a)
         mem_cgroup_update_page_stat()  -->(b)
         mem_cgroup_end_update_page_stat()

It requires both (a) and (b)(writeback pages accounting) to be pretected
in mem_cgroup_{begin/end}_update_page_stat().  It's full no-op for
!CONFIG_MEMCG, almost no-op if memcg is disabled (but compiled in), rcu
read lock in the most cases (no task is moving), and spin_lock_irqsave
on top in the slow path.

There're two writeback interfaces to modify: test_{clear/set}_page_writeback().
And the lock order is:
	--> memcg->move_lock
	  --> mapping->tree_lock
