[v6 3/4] mm, oom: introduce oom_priority for memory cgroups

[Roman Gushchin]

Introduce a per-memory-cgroup oom_priority setting: an integer number
within the [-10000, 10000] range, which defines the order in which
the OOM killer selects victim memory cgroups.

OOM killer prefers memory cgroups with larger priority if they are
populated with eligible tasks.

The oom_priority value is compared within sibling cgroups.

The root cgroup has the oom_priority 0, which cannot be changed.
