memcg: oom kill disable and oom status

This adds a feature to disable oom-killer for memcg, if disabled, of
course, tasks under memcg will stop.

But now, we have oom-notifier for memcg.  And the world around memcg is
not under out-of-memory.  memcg's out-of-memory just shows memcg hits
limit.  Then, administrator or management daemon can recover the situation
by

	- kill some process
	- enlarge limit, add more swap.
	- migrate some tasks
	- remove file cache on tmps (difficult ?)

Unlike oom-killer, you can take enough information before killing tasks.
(by gcore, or, ps etc.)
