memcg: move charge of file pages

This patch adds support for moving charge of file pages, which include
normal file, tmpfs file and swaps of tmpfs file.  It's enabled by setting
bit 1 of <target cgroup>/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate.

Unlike the case of anonymous pages, file pages(and swaps) in the range
mmapped by the task will be moved even if the task hasn't done page fault,
i.e.  they might not be the task's "RSS", but other task's "RSS" that maps
the same file.  And mapcount of the page is ignored(the page can be moved
even if page_mapcount(page) > 1).  So, conditions that the page/swap
should be met to be moved is that it must be in the range mmapped by the
target task and it must be charged to the old cgroup.
