The cgroup testing relies on the root cgroup's subtree_control setting,
If the 'memory' controller isn't set, all test cases will be failed
as following:
$ sudo ./test_memcontrol
not ok 1 test_memcg_subtree_control
not ok 2 test_memcg_current
ok 3 # skip test_memcg_min
not ok 4 test_memcg_low
not ok 5 test_memcg_high
not ok 6 test_memcg_max
not ok 7 test_memcg_oom_events
ok 8 # skip test_memcg_swap_max
not ok 9 test_memcg_sock
not ok 10 test_memcg_oom_group_leaf_events
not ok 11 test_memcg_oom_group_parent_events
not ok 12 test_memcg_oom_group_score_events
To correct this unexpected failure, this patch write the 'memory' to
subtree_control of root to get a right result.
