[PATCH] misc_cgroup: use a counter to count the number of failures

From: brookxu
Date: Fri Aug 13 2021 - 01:26:20 EST


From: Chunguang Xu <brookxu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

For a container, we only print an error log when the resource
charge fails. There may be some problems here:

1. If a large number of containers are created and deleted,
there will be a lot of error logs.
2. According to an error log, we cannot better understand
the actual pressure of resources.

Therefore, perhaps we should use a failcnt counter to count
the number of failures, so that we can easily understand the
actual pressure of resources and avoid too many error log..

This is a partial patch of the previous serial, which may
be useful, so I resend it.
