Well, the value of <root cgroup>/memory.memsw.usage_in_bytes would be incorrect
(swap usage would not be counted) without this patch. So the impact of this bug
depends on how the value is used.

Anyway, this bug exists only in 2.6.32 and this patch can be applied onto it
without any change.


Thanks,
Daisuke Nishimura.
