Subject[PATCH 4/4] Memory controller soft limit reclaim on contention (v4)
Feature: Implement reclaim from groups over their soft limit

From: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Changelog v4...v3
1. soft_reclaim is now called from balance_pgdat
2. soft_reclaim is aware of nodes and zones
3. A mem_cgroup will be throttled if it is undergoing soft limit reclaim
and at the same time trying to allocate pages and exceed its soft limit.
4. A new mem_cgroup_shrink_zone() routine has been added to shrink zones
particular to a mem cgroup.

Changelog v3...v2
1. Convert several arguments to hierarchical reclaim to flags, thereby
consolidating them
2. The reclaim for soft limits is now triggered from kswapd
3. try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages() now accepts an optional zonelist argument


Changelog v2...v1
1. Added support for hierarchical soft limits

This patch allows reclaim from memory cgroups on contention (via the
kswapd() path) only if the order is 0.

memory cgroup soft limit reclaim finds the group that exceeds its soft limit
by the largest amount and reclaims pages from it and then reinserts the
cgroup into its correct place in the rbtree.
