[PATCH 8/8] mm: memcontrol: hook up vmpressure to socket pressure

[Johannes Weiner]

Let the networking stack know when a memcg is under reclaim pressure
so that it can clamp its transmit windows accordingly.

Whenever the reclaim efficiency of a cgroup's LRU lists drops low
enough for a MEDIUM or HIGH vmpressure event to occur, assert a
pressure state in the socket and tcp memory code that tells it to curb
consumption growth from sockets associated with said control group.

vmpressure events are naturally edge triggered, so for hysteresis
assert socket pressure for a second to allow for subsequent vmpressure
events to occur before letting the socket code return to normal.

This will likely need finetuning for a wider variety of workloads, but
for now stick to the vmpressure presets and keep hysteresis simple.
