memcg: improve performance in moving charge
Try to reduce overheads in moving charge by: - Instead of calling res_counter_uncharge() against the old cgroup in __mem_cgroup_move_account() everytime, call res_counter_uncharge() at the end of task migration once. - removed css_get(&to->css) from __mem_cgroup_move_account() because callers should have already called css_get(). And removed css_put(&to->css) too, which was called by callers of move_account on success of move_account. - Instead of calling __mem_cgroup_try_charge(), i.e. res_counter_charge(), repeatedly, call res_counter_charge(PAGE_SIZE * count) in can_attach() if possible. - Instead of calling css_get()/css_put() repeatedly, make use of coalesce __css_get()/__css_put() if possible. These changes reduces the overhead from 1.7sec to 0.6sec to move charges of 1G anonymous memory in my test environment.
