memory controller: soft limit interface
Add an interface to allow get/set of soft limits. Soft limits for memory
plus swap controller (memsw) is currently not supported. Resource
counters have been enhanced to support soft limits and new type
RES_SOFT_LIMIT has been added. Unlike hard limits, soft limits can be
directly set and do not need any reclaim or checks before setting them to
a newer value.
Kamezawa-San raised a question as to whether soft limit should belong to
res_counter. Since all resources understand the basic concepts of hard
and soft limits, it is justified to add soft limits here. Soft limits are
a generic resource usage feature, even file system quotas support soft
limits.
