memcg: remove the overhead associated with the root cgroup 

Change the memory cgroup to remove the overhead associated with accounting
all pages in the root cgroup.  As a side-effect, we can no longer set a
memory hard limit in the root cgroup.

A new flag to track whether the page has been accounted or not has been
added as well.  Flags are now set atomically for page_cgroup,
pcg_default_flags is now obsolete and removed.

pages that are selected for reclaiming come from the per cgroup LRU

NOTE: Reclaim does not work for the root cgroup, since we cannot set any
