per-zone and reclaim enhancements for memory controller: per-zone active inactive counter

This patch adds per-zone status in memory cgroup.  These values are often read
(as per-zone value) by page reclaiming.

In current design, per-zone stat is just a unsigned long value and not an
atomic value because they are modified only under lru_lock.  (So, atomic_ops
is not necessary.)

This patch adds ACTIVE and INACTIVE per-zone status values.

For handling per-zone status, this patch adds
  struct mem_cgroup_per_zone {
...
  }
and some helper functions. This will be useful to add per-zone objects
in mem_cgroup.

This patch turns memory controller's early_init to be 0 for calling
kmalloc() in initialization.
