This patch implements a helper function that try to get a reference to
an memcg's css, as well as checking if it is online. This new function
is almost exactly the same as the existing mem_cgroup_tryget(), except
for the onlineness check. In the !CONFIG_MEMCG case, it always returns
true, analogous to mem_cgroup_tryget(). This is useful for e.g to the
new zswap writeback scheme, where we need to select the next online
memcg as a candidate for the global limit reclaim.
