memory cgroup enhancements: force_empty interface for dropping all account in empty cgroup
This patch adds an interface "memory.force_empty". Any write to this file
will drop all charges in this cgroup if there is no task under.
%echo 1 > /....../memory.force_empty
will drop all charges of memory cgroup if cgroup's tasks is empty.
This is useful to invoke rmdir() against memory cgroup successfully.
Tested and worked well on x86_64/fake-NUMA system.
