memcg: check under limit at shrink_usage
Current memory cgroup(both in mainline and -mm) doesn't account swap caches as memory(swap cache support is dropped temporarily now). So try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages doesn't reflect the count of pages that have been moved to swap cache. But this makes mem_cgroup_shrink_usage fail easily if most of the pages are anon/shmem, and then shmem_getpage returns -ENOMEM and the process will be killed. This patch adds res_counter_check_under_limit to avoid these cases. BTW, even if swap cache support is enabled again, if a process is moved to another cgroup, which has been just made, between precharge and shrink_usage in shmem_getpage, shrink_usage may fail just because there is no pages to reclaim. So this change would make sense anyway.
