list_lru: introduce list_lru_shrink_{count,walk}

Kmem accounting of memcg is unusable now, because it lacks slab shrinker
support.  That means when we hit the limit we will get ENOMEM w/o any
chance to recover.  What we should do then is to call shrink_slab, which
would reclaim old inode/dentry caches from this cgroup.  This is what
this patch set is intended to do.

Basically, it does two things.  First, it introduces the notion of
per-memcg slab shrinker.  A shrinker that wants to reclaim objects per
cgroup should mark itself as SHRINKER_MEMCG_AWARE.  Then it will be
passed the memory cgroup to scan from in shrink_control->memcg.  For
such shrinkers shrink_slab iterates over the whole cgroup subtree under
the target cgroup and calls the shrinker for each kmem-active memory
cgroup.

Secondly, this patch set makes the list_lru structure per-memcg.  It's
done transparently to list_lru users - everything they have to do is to
tell list_lru_init that they want memcg-aware list_lru.  Then the
list_lru will automatically distribute objects among per-memcg lists
basing on which cgroup the object is accounted to.  This way to make FS
shrinkers (icache, dcache) memcg-aware we only need to make them use
memcg-aware list_lru, and this is what this patch set does.

As before, this patch set only enables per-memcg kmem reclaim when the
pressure goes from memory.limit, not from memory.kmem.limit.  Handling
memory.kmem.limit is going to be tricky due to GFP_NOFS allocations, and
it is still unclear whether we will have this knob in the unified
hierarchy.

This patch (of 9):

NUMA aware slab shrinkers use the list_lru structure to distribute
objects coming from different NUMA nodes to different lists.  Whenever
such a shrinker needs to count or scan objects from a particular node,
it issues commands like this:

        count = list_lru_count_node(lru, sc->nid);
        freed = list_lru_walk_node(lru, sc->nid, isolate_func,
                                   isolate_arg, &sc->nr_to_scan);

where sc is an instance of the shrink_control structure passed to it
from vmscan.

To simplify this, let's add special list_lru functions to be used by
shrinkers, list_lru_shrink_count() and list_lru_shrink_walk(), which
consolidate the nid and nr_to_scan arguments in the shrink_control
structure.

This will also allow us to avoid patching shrinkers that use list_lru
when we make shrink_slab() per-memcg - all we will have to do is extend
the shrink_control structure to include the target memcg and make
list_lru_shrink_{count,walk} handle this appropriately.
