Introduce memcg routines to assist in per-memcg writeback:
- mem_cgroups_over_bground_dirty_thresh() determines if any cgroups need
writeback because they are over their dirty memory threshold.
- should_writeback_mem_cgroup_inode() determines if an inode is
contributing pages to an over-limit memcg. A new writeback_control
field determines if shared inodes should be written back.
- mem_cgroup_writeback_done() is used periodically during writeback to
update memcg writeback data.
These routines make use of a new over_bground_dirty_thresh bitmap that
indicates which mem_cgroup are over their respective dirty background
threshold. As this bitmap is indexed by css_id, the largest possible
css_id value is needed to create the bitmap. So move the definition of
CSS_ID_MAX from cgroup.c to cgroup.h. This allows users of css_id() to
know the largest possible css_id value. This knowledge can be used to
build such per-cgroup bitmaps.

Changelog since v7:
- Combined creation of and first use of new struct writeback_control
shared_inodes field into this patch. In -v7 these were in separate patches.
- Promote CSS_ID_MAX from cgroup.c to cgroup.h for general usage. In -v7 this
change was in a separate patch. CSS_ID_MAX is needed by this patch, so the
promotion is included with this patch.
- mem_cgroup_writeback_done() now clears corresponding bit for cgroup that
cannot be referenced. Such a bit would represent a cgroup previously over
dirty limit, but that has been deleted before writeback cleaned all pages. By
clearing bit, writeback will not continually try to writeback the deleted
cgroup.
- Previously mem_cgroup_writeback_done() would only finish writeback when the
cgroup's dirty memory usage dropped below the dirty limit. This was the wrong
limit to check. This now correctly checks usage against the background dirty
limit.
