Johannes Weiner 9221edb712 memcg: prevent endless loop when charging huge pages 
The charging code can encounter a charge size that is bigger than a
regular page in two situations: one is a batched charge to fill the
per-cpu stocks, the other is a huge page charge.

This code is distributed over two functions, however, and only the outer
one is aware of huge pages.  In case the charging fails, the inner
function will tell the outer function to retry if the charge size is
bigger than regular pages--assuming batched charging is the only case.
And the outer function will retry forever charging a huge page.

This patch makes sure the inner function can distinguish between batch
charging and a single huge page charge.  It will only signal another
attempt if batch charging failed, and go into regular reclaim when it is
called on behalf of a huge page.
