mm: memcontrol: fix recursive statistics correctness & scalabilty

Right now, when somebody needs to know the recursive memory statistics
and events of a cgroup subtree, they need to walk the entire subtree and
sum up the counters manually.

There are two issues with this:

1. When a cgroup gets deleted, its stats are lost. The state counters
   should all be 0 at that point, of course, but the events are not.
   When this happens, the event counters, which are supposed to be
   monotonic, can go backwards in the parent cgroups.

2. During regular operation, we always have a certain number of lazily
   freed cgroups sitting around that have been deleted, have no tasks,
   but have a few cache pages remaining. These groups' statistics do not
   change until we eventually hit memory pressure, but somebody
   watching, say, memory.stat on an ancestor has to iterate those every
   time.

This patch addresses both issues by introducing recursive counters at
each level that are propagated from the write side when stats change.

Upward propagation happens when the per-cpu caches spill over into the
local atomic counter.  This is the same thing we do during charge and
uncharge, except that the latter uses atomic RMWs, which are more
expensive; stat changes happen at around the same rate.  In a sparse
file test (page faults and reclaim at maximum CPU speed) with 5 cgroup
nesting levels, perf shows __mod_memcg_page state at ~1%.
