Memory controller improve user interface 

Change the interface to use bytes instead of pages.  Page sizes can vary
across platforms and configurations.  A new strategy routine has been added
to the resource counters infrastructure to format the data as desired.

Suggested by David Rientjes, Andrew Morton and Herbert Poetzl

Tested on a UML setup with the config for memory control enabled.

Since now we're in the 0 cgroup,
We can alter the memory limit:
# echo -n 6000 > /cgroups/0/memory.limit
# echo -n 4M > /cgroups/0/memory.limit_in_bytes
NOTE: We can use a suffix (k, K, m, M, g or G) to indicate values in kilo,
mega or gigabytes.
# cat /cgroups/0/memory.limit_in_bytes
4194304 Bytes
NOTE: The interface has now changed to display the usage in bytes
instead of pages
We can check the usage:
# cat /cgroups/0/memory.usage

# cat /cgroups/0/memory.usage_in_bytes
1216512 Bytes
A successful write to this file does not guarantee a successful set of
this limit to the value written into the file. This can be due to a
number of factors, such as rounding up to page boundaries or the total
availability of memory on the system. The user is required to re-read
this file after a write to guarantee the value committed by the kernel.
# echo -n 1 > memory.limit_in_bytes
# cat memory.limit_in_bytes

The memory.failcnt field gives the number of times that the cgroup limit was
exceeded.

should free any pending Swap Cache usage.
