There are two watermarks added per-memcg including "high_wmark" and "low_wmark".
The per-memcg kswapd is invoked when the memcg's memory usage(usage_in_bytes)
is higher than the low_wmark. Then the kswapd thread starts to reclaim pages
until the usage is lower than the high_wmark.
Each watermark is calculated based on the hard_limit(limit_in_bytes) for each
memcg. Each time the hard_limit is changed, the corresponding wmarks are
re-calculated. Since memory controller charges only user pages, there is
no need for a "min_wmark". The current calculation of wmarks is based on
individual tunable high_wmark_distance, which are set to 0 by default.
low_wmark is calculated in automatic way.
Changelog:v8b...v7
1. set low_wmark_distance in automatic using fixed HILOW_DISTANCE.
