[PATCH 4/4] memcg: fix swap accounting

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

This patch fixes mis-accounting of swap usage in memcg.

In current implementation, memcg's swap account is uncharged only when
swap is completely freed. But there are several cases where swap
cannot be freed cleanly. For handling that, this patch changes that
memcg uncharges swap account when swap has no references other than cache.

By this, memcg's swap entry accounting can be fully synchronous with
the application's behavior.
This patch also changes memcg's hooks for swap-out.
