memcg: fix swap accounting

This patch fixes mis-accounting of swap usage in memcg.

In the current implementation, memcg's swap account is uncharged only when
swap is completely freed.  But there are several cases where swap cannot
be freed cleanly.  For handling that, this patch changes that memcg
uncharges swap account when swap has no references other than cache.

By this, memcg's swap entry accounting can be fully synchronous with the
application's behavior.

This patch also changes memcg's hooks for swap-out.
