memory controller: soft limit organize cgroups

Organize cgroups over soft limit in a RB-Tree

Introduce an RB-Tree for storing memory cgroups that are over their soft
limit.  The overall goal is to

1. Add a memory cgroup to the RB-Tree when the soft limit is exceeded.
   We are careful about updates, updates take place only after a particular
   time interval has passed
2. We remove the node from the RB-Tree when the usage goes below the soft
   limit

The next set of patches will exploit the RB-Tree to get the group that is
over its soft limit by the largest amount and reclaim from it, when we
face memory contention.
