Nick Piggin pointed out that swap cache and page cache addition routines
could be called from non GFP_KERNEL contexts. This patch makes the charging
routine aware of the gfp context. Charging might fail if the container is
over it's limit, in which case a suitable error is returned.

This patch was tested on a Powerpc box. I am still looking at being able
to test the path, through which allocations happen in non GFP_KERNEL contexts.
