memcg: fix memory.high target
When the memory.high threshold is exceeded, try_charge() schedules a task_work to reclaim the excess. The reclaim target is set to the number of pages requested by try_charge(). This is wrong, because try_charge() usually charges more pages than requested (batch > nr_pages) in order to refill per cpu stocks. As a result, a process in a cgroup can easily exceed memory.high significantly when doing a lot of charges w/o returning to userspace (e.g. reading a file in big chunks). Fix this issue by assuring that when exceeding memory.high a process reclaims as many pages as were actually charged (i.e. batch).
