[RFC][PATCH v7 03/14] memcg: add mem_cgroup_mark_inode_dirty()

[Greg Thelen]

Create the mem_cgroup_mark_inode_dirty() routine, which is called when
an inode is marked dirty.  In kernels without memcg, this is an inline
no-op.

Add i_memcg field to struct address_space.  When an inode is marked
dirty with mem_cgroup_mark_inode_dirty(), the css_id of current memcg is
recorded in i_memcg.  Per-memcg writeback (introduced in a latter
change) uses this field to isolate inodes associated with a particular
memcg.

The type of i_memcg is an 'unsigned short' because it stores the css_id
of the memcg.  Using a struct mem_cgroup pointer would be larger and
also create a reference on the memcg which would hang memcg rmdir
deletion.  Usage of a css_id is not a reference so cgroup deletion is
not affected.  The memcg can be deleted without cleaning up the i_memcg
field.  When a memcg is deleted its pages are recharged to the cgroup
parent, and the related inode(s) are marked as shared thus
disassociating the inodes from the deleted cgroup.

A mem_cgroup_mark_inode_dirty() tracepoint is also included to allow for
easier understanding of memcg writeback operation.
