memcg: fix swap accounting
This patch fixes mis-accounting of swap usage in memcg. In the current implementation, memcg's swap account is uncharged only when swap is completely freed. But there are several cases where swap cannot be freed cleanly. For handling that, this patch changes that memcg uncharges swap account when swap has no references other than cache. By this, memcg's swap entry accounting can be fully synchronous with the application's behavior. This patch also changes memcg's hooks for swap-out.
