memcg: avoid css_get()

Now, memory cgroup increments css(cgroup subsys state)'s reference count
per a charged page.  And the reference count is kept until the page is
uncharged.  But this has 2 bad effect.

 1. Because css_get/put calls atomic_inc()/dec, heavy call of them
    on large smp will not scale well.
 2. Because css's refcnt cannot be in a state as "ready-to-release",
    cgroup's notify_on_release handler can't work with memcg.
 3. css's refcnt is atomic_t, it means smaller than 32bit. Maybe too small.

This has been a problem since the 1st merge of memcg.

This is a trial to remove css's refcnt per a page. Even if we remove
refcnt, pre_destroy() does enough synchronization as
  - check res->usage == 0.
  - check no pages on LRU.

This patch removes css's refcnt per page.  Even after this patch, at the
1st look, it seems css_get() is still called in try_charge().

But the logic is.

  - If a memcg of mm->owner is cached one, consume_stock() will work.
    At success, return immediately.
  - If consume_stock returns false, css_get() is called and go to
    slow path which may be blocked. At the end of slow path,
    css_put() is called and restart from the start if necessary.

So, in the fast path, we don't call css_get() and can avoid access to
shared counter. This patch can make the most possible case fast.

Here is a result of multi-threaded page fault benchmark.

[Before]
    25.32%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] clear_page_c
     9.30%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
     8.02%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] try_get_mem_cgroup_from_mm <=====(*)
     7.83%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] down_read_trylock
     5.38%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] __css_put
     5.29%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
     4.92%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
     4.24%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] up_read
     3.53%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] css_put
     2.11%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] handle_mm_fault
     1.76%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] __rmqueue
     1.64%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] __mem_cgroup_commit_charge

[After]
    28.41%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] clear_page_c
    10.08%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] _raw_spin_lock_irq
     9.58%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] down_read_trylock
     9.38%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
     5.86%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask
     5.65%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] up_read
     2.82%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] handle_mm_fault
     2.64%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] mem_cgroup_add_lru_list
     2.48%  multi-fault-all  [kernel.kallsyms]      [k] __mem_cgroup_commit_charge

Then, 8.02% of try_get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() disappears because this patch
removes css_tryget() in it. (But yes, this is an extreme case.)
