Memory controller: make charging gfp mask aware

Browse Source 
Nick Piggin pointed out that swap cache and page cache addition routines
could be called from non GFP_KERNEL contexts.  This patch makes the
charging routine aware of the gfp context.  Charging might fail if the
cgroup is over it's limit, in which case a suitable error is returned.

This patch was tested on a Powerpc box.  I am still looking at being able
to test the path, through which allocations happen in non GFP_KERNEL
contexts.
