Memory controller: make charging gfp mask aware
Nick Piggin pointed out that swap cache and page cache addition routines
could be called from non GFP_KERNEL contexts. This patch makes the
charging routine aware of the gfp context. Charging might fail if the
cgroup is over it's limit, in which case a suitable error is returned.
This patch was tested on a Powerpc box. I am still looking at being able
to test the path, through which allocations happen in non GFP_KERNEL
contexts.

The RSS accounting is accounted at page_add_*_rmap() and page_remove_rmap()

__delete_from_page_cache(). Swap cache is also accounted for.
Each page's page_cgroup is protected with the last bit of the
page_cgroup pointer, this makes handling of race conditions involving
simultaneous mappings of a page easier. A reference count is kept in the
page_cgroup to deal with cases where a page might be unmapped from the RSS
of all tasks, but still lives in the page cache.

ext3: fix lock inversion in direct IO
We cannot start transaction in ext3_direct_IO() and just let it last during
the whole write because dio_get_page() acquires mmap_sem which ranks above
transaction start (e.g. because we have dependency chain
mmap_sem->PageLock->journal_start, or because we update atime while holding
mmap_sem) and thus deadlocks could happen. We solve the problem by
starting a transaction separately for each ext3_get_block() call.
We *could* have a problem that we allocate a block and before its data are
written out the machine crashes and thus we expose stale data. But that
does not happen because for hole-filling generic code falls back to
buffered writes and for file extension, we add inode to orphan list and
thus in case of crash, journal replay will truncate inode back to the
original size.

ext[234]: fix comment for nonexistent variable
The comment in ext[234]_new_blocks() describes about "i". But there is no
local variable called "i" in that scope. I guess it has been renamed to
group_no.

ext3 file system was by default ignoring errors and continuing. This is
not a good default as continuing on error could lead to file system
corruption. Change the default to mark the file system readonly. Debian
and ubuntu already does this as the default in their fstab.

This fixes some instances where we were continuing after calling
ext3_error. ext3_error calls panic only if errors=panic mount option is
set. So we need to make sure we return correctly after ext3_error call
When a new block bitmap is read from disk in read_block_bitmap() there are a
few bits that should ALWAYS be set. In particular, the blocks given
corresponding to block bitmap, inode bitmap and inode tables. Validate the
block bitmap against these blocks.
