mm, memcg: throttle allocators based on ancestral memory.high
commit e26733e0 upstream. Prior to this commit, we only directly check the affected cgroup's memory.high against its usage. However, it's possible that we are being reclaimed as a result of hitting an ancestor memory.high and should be penalised based on that, instead. This patch changes memory.high overage throttling to use the largest overage in its ancestors when considering how many penalty jiffies to charge. This makes sure that we penalise poorly behaving cgroups in the same way regardless of at what level of the hierarchy memory.high was breached.
