cgroups: use css id in swap cgroup for saving memory v5

Try to use CSS ID for records in swap_cgroup.  By this, on 64bit machine,
size of swap_cgroup goes down to 2 bytes from 8bytes.

This means, when 2GB of swap is equipped, (assume the page size is 4096bytes)

	From size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 8 = 4Mbytes.
	To   size of swap_cgroup = 2G/4k * 2 = 1Mbytes.

Reduction is large.  Of course, there are trade-offs.  This CSS ID will
add overhead to swap-in/swap-out/swap-free.

But in general,
  - swap is a resource which the user tend to avoid use.
  - If swap is never used, swap_cgroup area is not used.
  - Reading traditional manuals, size of swap should be proportional to
    size of memory. Memory size of machine is increasing now.

I think reducing size of swap_cgroup makes sense.

Note:
  - ID->CSS lookup routine has no locks, it's under RCU-Read-Side.
  - memcg can be obsolete at rmdir() but not freed while refcnt from
    swap_cgroup is available.

Changelog v4->v5:
 - reworked on to memcg-charge-swapcache-to-proper-memcg.patch
Changlog ->v4:
 - fixed not configured case.
 - deleted unnecessary comments.
 - fixed NULL pointer bug.
 - fixed message in dmesg.
