mm/memcg: prepare for swap over-high accounting and penalty calculation 

Patch series "memcg: Slow down swap allocation as the available space
gets depleted", v6.

Tejun describes the problem as follows:

When swap runs out, there's an abrupt change in system behavior - the
anonymous memory suddenly becomes unmanageable which readily breaks any
sort of memory isolation and can bring down the whole system.  To avoid
that, oomd [1] monitors free swap space and triggers kills when it drops
below the specific threshold (e.g.  15%).

While this works, it's far from ideal:

 - Depending on IO performance and total swap size, a given
   headroom might not be enough or too much.

 - oomd has to monitor swap depletion in addition to the usual
   pressure metrics and it currently doesn't consider memory.swap.max.

Solve this by adapting parts of the approach that memory.high uses -
slow down allocation as the resource gets depleted turning the depletion
behavior from abrupt cliff one to gradual degradation observable through
memory pressure metric.

This patch (of 4):

Slice the memory overage calculation logic a little bit so we can reuse
it to apply a similar penalty to the swap.  The logic which accesses the
memory-specific fields (use and high values) has to be taken out of
calculate_high_delay().
