memcg: relax memcg iter caching

Browse Source 
Now that the per-node-zone-priority iterator caches memory cgroups
rather than their css ids we have to be careful and remove them from the
iterator when they are on the way out otherwise they might live for
unbounded amount of time even though their group is already gone (until
the global/targeted reclaim triggers the zone under priority to find out
the group is dead and let it to find the final rest).

We can fix this issue by relaxing rules for the last_visited memcg.
Instead of taking a reference to the css before it is stored into
iter->last_visited we can just store its pointer and track the number of
removed groups from each memcg's subhierarchy.

This number would be stored into iterator everytime when a memcg is
cached.  If the iter count doesn't match the curent walker root's one we
will start from the root again.  The group counter is incremented
upwards the hierarchy every time a group is removed.

The iter_lock can be dropped because racing iterators cannot leak the
reference anymore as the reference count is not elevated for
last_visited when it is cached.

Locking rules got a bit complicated by this change though.  The iterator
primarily relies on rcu read lock which makes sure that once we see a
valid last_visited pointer then it will be valid for the whole RCU walk.
smp_rmb makes sure that dead_count is read before last_visited and
last_dead_count while smp_wmb makes sure that last_visited is updated
before last_dead_count so the up-to-date last_dead_count cannot point to
an outdated last_visited.  css_tryget then makes sure that the
last_visited is still alive in case the iteration races with the cached
group removal (css is invalidated before mem_cgroup_css_offline
increments dead_count).

In short:
mem_cgroup_iter
 rcu_read_lock()
 dead_count = atomic_read(parent->dead_count)
 smp_rmb()
 if (dead_count != iter->last_dead_count)
 	last_visited POSSIBLY INVALID -> last_visited = NULL
 if (!css_tryget(iter->last_visited))
 	last_visited DEAD -> last_visited = NULL
 next = find_next(last_visited)
 css_tryget(next)
 css_put(last_visited) 	// css would be invalidated and parent->dead_count
 			// incremented if this was the last reference
 iter->last_visited = next
 smp_wmb()
 iter->last_dead_count = dead_count
 rcu_read_unlock()

cgroup_rmdir
 cgroup_destroy_locked
  atomic_add(CSS_DEACT_BIAS, &css->refcnt) // subsequent css_tryget fail
   mem_cgroup_css_offline
    mem_cgroup_invalidate_reclaim_iterators
     while(parent = parent_mem_cgroup)
     	atomic_inc(parent->dead_count)
  css_put(css) // last reference held by cgroup core
