memcg: fix thresholds for 32b architectures.
Commit 424cdc14 ("memcg: convert threshold to bytes") has fixed a regression introduced by 3e32cb2e ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters") where thresholds were silently converted to use page units rather than bytes when interpreting the user input. The fix is not complete, though, as properly pointed out by Ben Hutchings during stable backport review. The page count is converted to bytes but unsigned long is used to hold the value which would be obviously not sufficient for 32b systems with more than 4G thresholds. The same applies to usage as taken from mem_cgroup_usage which might overflow. Let's remove this bytes vs. pages internal tracking differences and handle thresholds in page units internally. Chage mem_cgroup_usage() to return the value in page units and revert 424cdc14 because this should be sufficient for the consistent handling. mem_cgroup_read_u64 as the only users of mem_cgroup_usage outside of the threshold handling code is converted to give the proper in bytes result. It is doing that already for page_counter output so this is more consistent as well. The value presented to the userspace is still in bytes units.
