Subject[RFC][PATCH v3 6/10] memcg : auto keep margin in background , workqueue core.

Core codes for controling workqueue for keeping margin to limit
in background. For contrling work, this patch adds 2 flags.

ASYNC_WORKER_RUNNING indicates the worker for memcg is scheduled and
"don't need to add new work". ASYNC_WORKER_SHOULD_STOP indicates that
someone is trying to remove the memcg and "stop async reclaim".
Because a worker need to hold a reference count for the memcg,
"stop work" is required at removing cgroup.

memory cgroup's automatic-keep-margin-to-limit work is scheduled
by memcg_async_shrinker workqueue which is configured as WQ_UNBOUND.

A shrinker core code mem_cgroup_shrink_rate_limited() will be
implemented in following patches.

Changelog:
- added comments and renamed flags.
