Subject[patch] memcg: fix unit mismatch in memcg oom limit calculation
Adding the number of swap pages to the byte limit of a memory control
group makes no sense. Convert the pages to bytes before adding them.

The only user of this code is the OOM killer, and the way it is used
means that the error results in a higher OOM badness value. Since the
cgroup limit is the same for all tasks in the cgroup, the error should
have no practical impact at the moment.

But let's not wait for future or changing users to trip over it.
