In the legacy hierarchy we charge memsw, which is dubious, because:
- memsw.limit must be >= memory.limit, so it is impossible to limit
swap usage less than memory usage. Taking into account the fact that
the primary limiting mechanism in the unified hierarchy is
memory.high while memory.limit is either left unset or set to a very
large value, moving memsw.limit knob to the unified hierarchy would
effectively make it impossible to limit swap usage according to the
user preference.
- memsw.usage != memory.usage + swap.usage, because a page occupying
both swap entry and a swap cache page is charged only once to memsw
counter. As a result, it is possible to effectively eat up to
memory.limit of memory pages *and* memsw.limit of swap entries, which
looks unexpected.
That said, we should provide a different swap limiting mechanism for
cgroup2.
This patch adds mem_cgroup->swap counter, which charges the actual
number of swap entries used by a cgroup. It is only charged in the
unified hierarchy, while the legacy hierarchy memsw logic is left
intact.
The swap usage can be monitored using new memory.swap.current file and
limited using memory.swap.max.
Note, to charge swap resource properly in the unified hierarchy, we have
to make swap_entry_free uncharge swap only when ->usage reaches zero,
not just ->count, i.e. when all references to a swap entry, including
the one taken by swap cache, are gone. This is necessary, because
otherwise swap-in could result in uncharging swap even if the page is
still in swap cache and hence still occupies a swap entry. At the same
time, this shouldn't break memsw counter logic, where a page is never
charged twice for using both memory and swap, because in case of legacy
hierarchy we uncharge swap on commit (see mem_cgroup_commit_charge).

Changes in v2:
- Rename mem_cgroup_charge_swap -> mem_cgroup_try_charge_swap to
conform to other memcg charging methods.
- Remove unnecessary READ_ONCE from mem_cgroup_get_limit.
- Uncharge swap only when the last reference is gone, including the one
taken by swap cache. In other words, make swap_entry_free call
mem_cgroup_uncharge_swap only when ->usage reaches zero, not just
->count.
- Note: I left legacy and default swap charge paths separated for now,
because unifying them (i.e. moving swap_cgroup_record to
mem_cgroup_try_charge_swap) would result in changing behavior of
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_SWAP counter on the legacy hierarchy.
