memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to memsw.limit
A user can set memcg.limit_in_bytes == memcg.memsw.limit_in_bytes when the
user just want to limit the total size of applications, in other words,
not very interested in memory usage itself. In this case, swap-out will
be done only by global-LRU.
But, under current implementation, memory.limit_in_bytes is checked at
first and try_to_free_page() may do swap-out. But, that swap-out is
useless for memsw.limit_in_bytes and the thread may hit limit again.
This patch tries to fix the current behavior at memory.limit ==
memsw.limit case. And documentation is updated to explain the behavior of
this special case.
