memcg: fix OOM killer under memcg
This patch tries to fix OOM Killer problems caused by hierarchy.
Now, memcg itself has OOM KILL function (in oom_kill.c) and tries to
kill a task in memcg.
But, when hierarchy is used, it's broken and correct task cannot
be killed. For example, in following cgroup
/groupA/ hierarchy=1, limit=1G,
01 nolimit
02 nolimit
All tasks' memory usage under /groupA, /groupA/01, groupA/02 is limited to
groupA's 1Gbytes but OOM Killer just kills tasks in groupA.
This patch provides makes the bad process be selected from all tasks
under hierarchy. BTW, currently, oom_jiffies is updated against groupA
in above case. oom_jiffies of tree should be updated.
To see how oom_jiffies is used, please check mem_cgroup_oom_called()
callers.
