Memory controller: make page_referenced() cgroup aware
Make page_referenced() cgroup aware. Without this patch, page_referenced()
can cause a page to be skipped while reclaiming pages. This patch ensures
that other cgroups do not hold pages in a particular cgroup hostage. It
is required to ensure that shared pages are freed from a cgroup when they
are not actively referenced from the cgroup that brought them in
