Add the tracking of buffered (writeback) and anonymous pages.
Dirty pages in the page cache can be processed asynchronously by the
per-bdi flusher kernel threads or by any other thread in the system,
according to the writeback policy.
For this reason the real writes to the underlying block devices may
occur in a different IO context respect to the task that originally
generated the dirty pages involved in the IO operation. This makes
the tracking and throttling of writeback IO more complicate respect to
the synchronous IO from the blkio controller's point of view.
The idea is to save the cgroup owner of each anonymous page and dirty
page in page cache. A page is associated to a cgroup the first time it
is dirtied in memory (for file cache pages) or when it is set as
swap-backed (for anonymous pages). This information is stored using the
page_cgroup functionality.
Then, at the block layer, it is possible to retrieve the throttle group
looking at the bio_page(bio). If the page was not explicitly associated
to any cgroup the IO operation is charged to the current task/cgroup, as
it was done by the previous implementation.
