Andrey, please port fixes for memcg.cache.limit_in_bytes feature to vz8 as well.

AFAIS, the initial patch has been committed to vz8 already:
vz8: 0d64967242fd mm/memcg: limit page cache in memcg hack

But vz7 has several more fixes for it, which are to be ported yet:
vz7: 1bfd6445b3f29f503d9693254826283a8be65cfe mm/memcg: reclaim 
memory.cache.limit_in_bytes from background
vz7: 7e96384c9557dc9bd2525a2afb95630c866c7090 mm/memcg: fix cache growth above 
cache.limit_in_bytes
vz7: d7bab0af6a65 mm: try harder to decrease cache.limit_in_bytes

Thank you.

Exceeding cache above cache.limit_in_bytes schedules high_work_func()
which tries to reclaim 32 pages. If cache generated fast enough or it allows
cgroup to steadily grow above cache.limit_in_bytes because we don't reclaim
enough. Try to reclaim exceeded amount of cache instead.

 - Changes since v1: add bug link to changelog
 - Changes since v2: Fix cache_overused check (We should check if it's 
positive).
    Made this stupid bug during cleanup, patch was tested without bogus cleanup,
    so it shoud work.
 - Chnages since v3: Compilation fixes, properly tested now.
