memory controller: soft limit interface

Browse Source 
Add an interface to allow get/set of soft limits.  Soft limits for memory
plus swap controller (memsw) is currently not supported.  Resource
counters have been enhanced to support soft limits and new type
RES_SOFT_LIMIT has been added.  Unlike hard limits, soft limits can be
directly set and do not need any reclaim or checks before setting them to
a newer value.

Kamezawa-San raised a question as to whether soft limit should belong to
res_counter.  Since all resources understand the basic concepts of hard
and soft limits, it is justified to add soft limits here.  Soft limits are
a generic resource usage feature, even file system quotas support soft
limits.
