[BUGFIX][PATCH 1/4] memcg: fix limit estimation at reclaim forhugepage

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Current memory cgroup's code tends to assume page_size == PAGE_SIZE
and arrangement for THP is not enough yet.

This is one of fixes for supporing THP. This adds
mem_cgroup_check_margin() and checks whether there are required amount of
free resource after memory reclaim. By this, THP page allocation
can know whether it really succeeded or not and avoid infinite-loop
and hangup.

Total fixes for do_charge()/reclaim memory will follow this patch.
