memcgroup: implement failcounter reset
This is a very common requirement from people using the resource accounting
facilities (not only memcgroup but also OpenVZ beancounters). They want to
put the cgroup in an initial state without re-creating it.
For example after re-configuring a group people want to observe how this new
configuration fits the group needs without saving the previous failcnt value.
Merge two resets into one mem_cgroup_reset() function to demonstrate how
multiplexing work.
Besides, I have plans to move the files, that correspond to res_counter to the
res_counter.c file and somehow "import" them into controller. I don't know
how to make it gracefully yet, but merging resets of max_usage and failcnt in
one function will be there for sure.
