[-mm patch] Show memcg information during OOM (v2)

Description: Add RSS and swap to OOM output from memcg

From: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Changelog v2..v1:

1. Add more information about task's memcg and the memcg
over it's limit
2. Print data in KB
3. Move the print routine outside task_lock()
4. Use rcu_read_lock() around cgroup_path, strictly speaking it
is not required, but relying on the current memcg implementation
is not a good idea.

This patch displays memcg values like failcnt, usage and limit
when an OOM occurs due to memcg.

NOTE: In case the path exceeds 128 bytes, we omit printing the
name of the cgroups. It is possible to circumvent this problem
by using static arrays of PAGE_SIZE and we know that OOM is
serialized when invoked from the memory controller. This did
not seem like a good idea, but can be implemented if 128 bytes
seems like a severe limitation.

Thanks go out to Johannes Weiner, Li Zefan, David Rientjes,
Kamezawa Hiroyuki, Daisuke Nishimura and KOSAKI Motohiro for
review.

Sample output
-------------

Task in /a/x killed as a result of limit of /a
memory: usage 1048576kB, limit 1048576kB, failcnt 4183
memory+swap: usage 1400964kB, limit 9007199254740991kB, failcnt 0
