memcg: fix oom kill behavior

In current page-fault code,

	handle_mm_fault()
		-> ...
		-> mem_cgroup_charge()
		-> map page or handle error.
	-> check return code.

If page fault's return code is VM_FAULT_OOM, page_fault_out_of_memory() is
called.  But if it's caused by memcg, OOM should have been already
invoked.

Then, I added a patch: a636b327f731143ccc544b966cfd8de6cb6d72c6.  That
patch records last_oom_jiffies for memcg's sub-hierarchy and prevents
page_fault_out_of_memory from being invoked in near future.

But Nishimura-san reported that check by jiffies is not enough when the
system is terribly heavy.

This patch changes memcg's oom logic as.
 * If memcg causes OOM-kill, continue to retry.
 * remove jiffies check which is used now.
 * add memcg-oom-lock which works like perzone oom lock.
 * If current is killed(as a process), bypass charge.

Something more sophisticated can be added but this pactch does
fundamental things.
TODO:
 - add oom notifier
 - add permemcg disable-oom-kill flag and freezer at oom.
 - more chances for wake up oom waiter (when changing memory limit etc..)
