Subject: memcg: memory cgroup resource counters for hierarchy

Add support for building hierarchies in resource counters.  Cgroups allows
us to build a deep hierarchy, but we currently don't link the resource
counters belonging to the memory controller control groups, in the same
fashion as the corresponding cgroup entries in the cgroup hierarchy.  This
patch provides the infrastructure for resource counters that have the same
hiearchy as their cgroup counter parts.

These set of patches are based on the resource counter hiearchy patches
posted by Pavel Emelianov.

NOTE: Building hiearchies is expensive, deeper hierarchies imply charging
the all the way up to the root.  It is known that hiearchies are
expensive, so the user needs to be careful and aware of the trade-offs
before creating very deep ones.
