[PATCH 07/10] memcg: Stop res_counter underflows.

[Suleiman Souhlal <ssouhlal@FreeBSD.org>]

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>

If __mem_cgroup_try_charge() goes the "bypass" route in charging slab
(typically when the task has been OOM-killed), that later results in
res_counter_uncharge_locked() underflows - a stream of warnings from
kernel/res_counter.c:96!

Solve this by accounting kmem_bypass when we shift that charge to root,
and whenever a memcg has any kmem_bypass outstanding, deduct from that
when unaccounting kmem, before deducting from kmem_bytes: so that its
kmem_bytes soon returns to being a fair account.

The amount of memory bypassed is shown in memory.stat as
kernel_bypassed_memory.
