memcg: fix gfp_mask of callers of charge

Browse Source 
Fix misuse of gfp_kernel.

Now, most of callers of mem_cgroup_charge_xxx functions uses GFP_KERNEL.

I think that this is from the fact that page_cgroup *was* dynamically
allocated.

But now, we allocate all page_cgroup at boot.  And
mem_cgroup_try_to_free_pages() reclaim memory from GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE +
specified GFP_RECLAIM_MASK.

  * This is because we just want to reduce memory usage.
    "Where we should reclaim from ?" is not a problem in memcg.

This patch modifies gfp masks to be GFP_HIGUSER_MOVABLE if possible.

Note: This patch is not for fixing behavior but for showing sane information
      in source code.
