memcg: add file-based RSS accounting

Add file RSS tracking per memory cgroup

We currently don't track file RSS, the RSS we report is actually anon RSS.
 All the file mapped pages, come in through the page cache and get
accounted there.  This patch adds support for accounting file RSS pages.
It should

1. Help improve the metrics reported by the memory resource controller
2. Will form the basis for a future shared memory accounting heuristic
   that has been proposed by Kamezawa.

Unfortunately, we cannot rename the existing "rss" keyword used in
memory.stat to "anon_rss".  We however, add "mapped_file" data and hope to
educate the end user through documentation.
