[PATCH v2 3/3] cgroup/dmem: allow max to be set below current usage

[Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo]

page_counter_set_max may return -EBUSY in case the current usage is above
the new max. When writing to dmem.max, this error is ignored and the new
max is not set.

Instead of using page_counter_set_max when writing to dmem.max, atomically
update its value irrespective of the current usage.

Since there is no current mechanism to evict a given dmemcg pool, this will
at least prevent the current usage from growing any further.
