memcg: new force_empty to free pages under group
By memcg-move-all-accounts-to-parent-at-rmdir.patch, there is no leak of
memory usage and force_empty is removed.
This patch adds "force_empty" again, in reasonable manner.
memory.force_empty file works when
#echo 0 (or some) > memory.force_empty
and have following function.
1. only works when there are no task in this cgroup.
2. free all page under this cgroup as much as possible.
3. page which cannot be freed will be moved up to parent.
4. Then, memcg will be empty after above echo returns.
This is much better behavior than old "force_empty" which just forget
all accounts. This patch also check signal_pending() and above "echo"
can be stopped by "Ctrl-C".
