mm: memcontrol: hook up vmpressure to socket pressure
Let the networking stack know when a memcg is under reclaim pressure so that it can clamp its transmit windows accordingly. Whenever the reclaim efficiency of a cgroup's LRU lists drops low enough for a MEDIUM or HIGH vmpressure event to occur, assert a pressure state in the socket and tcp memory code that tells it to curb consumption growth from sockets associated with said control group. Traditionally, vmpressure reports for the entire subtree of a memcg under pressure, which drops useful information on the individual groups reclaimed. However, it's too late to change the userinterface, so add a second reporting mode that reports on the level of reclaim instead of at the level of pressure, and use that report for sockets. vmpressure events are naturally edge triggered, so for hysteresis assert socket pressure for a second to allow for subsequent vmpressure events to occur before letting the socket code return to normal. This will likely need finetuning for a wider variety of workloads, but for now stick to the vmpressure presets and keep hysteresis simple.
