Subject[RFC][1/3] Add user interface for virtual address space control (v2)


Add as_usage_in_bytes and as_limit_in_bytes interfaces. These provide
control over the total address space that the processes combined together
in the cgroup can grow upto. This functionality is analogous to
the RLIMIT_AS function of the getrlimit(2) and setrlimit(2) calls.
A as_res resource counter is added to the mem_cgroup structure. The
as_res counter handles all the accounting associated with the virtual
address space accounting and control of cgroups.
