memcg: fix mem_cgroup_shrink_usage()

Browse Source 
Current mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() has two problems.

1. It doesn't call mem_cgroup_out_of_memory and doesn't update
   last_oom_jiffies, so pagefault_out_of_memory invokes global OOM.

2. Considering hierarchy, shrinking has to be done from the
   mem_over_limit, not from the memcg which the page would be charged to.

mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() does all of these things properly, so we
use it and call cancel_charge_swapin when it succeeded.

The name of "shrink_usage" is not appropriate for this behavior, so we
change it too.
