Documentation/memcg: warn about incomplete kmemcg state

Browse Source 
Kmemcg is currently under development and lacks some important features.
In particular, it does not have support of kmem reclaim on memory pressure
inside cgroup, which practically makes it unusable in real life.  Let's
warn about it in both Kconfig and Documentation to prevent complaints
arising.

the kmem extension can use it to guarantee that no group of processes
will ever exhaust kernel resources alone.
WARNING: Current implementation lacks reclaim support. That means
allocation attempts will fail when close to the limit even if there
are plenty of kmem available for reclaim. That makes this option
unusable in real life so DO NOT SELECT IT unless for development
purposes.
