[PATCH] memcg-v1: Enable setting memory min, low, high

[Shaun Tancheff]

From: Shaun Tancheff <shaun.tancheff@xxxxxxx>

For users that are unable to update to memcg-v2 this
provides a method where memcg-v1 can more effectively
apply enough memory pressure to effectively throttle
filesystem I/O or otherwise minimize being memcg oom
killed at the expense of reduced performance.

This patch extends the memcg-v1 legacy sysfs entries
with:
    limit_in_bytes.min, limit_in_bytes.low and
    limit_in_bytes.high
Since old software will need to be updated to take
advantage of the new files a secondary method
of setting min, low and high based on a percentage
of the limit is also provided. The percentages
are determined by module parameters.

The available module parameters can be set at
kernel boot time, for example:
   memcontrol.memcg_min=10
   memcontrol.memcg_low=30
   memcontrol.memcg_high=80

Would set min to 10%, low to 30% and high to 80% of
the value written to:
  /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/<grp>/memory.limit_in_bytes
