Subject[PATCH 1/2] memcg clean up try_charge main loop
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

mem_cgroup_try_charge() has a big loop in it and seems to be hard to read.
Most of routines are for slow path. This patch moves codes out from the
loop and make it clear what's done.

Summary:
- refactoring a function to detect a memcg is under acccount move or not.
- refactoring a function to wait for the end of moving task acct.
- refactoring a main loop('s slow path) as a function and make it clear
why we retry or quit by return code.
- add fatal_signal_pending() check for bypassing charge loops.

Changelog 2010-06-01
- added fatal_signal_pending() to bypass charge loop. This is useful
and valid to do because if signal is fatal, charging against it
isn't very necessary and the user can see smooth kill even under
heavy workload on a memcg.
