Subject[PATCH 1/6] res_counter: handle limit change
Add a support to shrink_usage_at_limit_change feature to res_counter.
memcg will use this to drop pages.

Change log: xxx -> v4 (new file.)
- cut out the limit-change part from hierarchy patch set.
- add "retry_count" arguments to shrink_usage(). This allows that we don't
have to set the default retry loop count.
- res_counter_check_under_val() is added to support subsystem.
- res_counter_init() is res_counter_init_ops(cnt, NULL)

-5. Usage example
+ res_counter_ops is for implementing feedback control from res_counter
+ to subsystem. Each one has each own purpose and the subsystem doesn't
+ necessary to provide all callbacks. Just implement necessary ones.
+
+ - shrink_usage(res_counter, newlimit, retry)
+ Called for reducing usage to newlimit, retry is incremented per

+ Returns 0 at success. Any error code is acceptable but -EBUSY will be

a. Declare a task group (take a look at cgroups subsystem for this) and
fold a res_counter into it
