Considering containers or other resource management softwares in userland,
event notification of OOM in memcg should be implemented.  Now, memcg has
"threshold" notifier which uses eventfd, we can make use of it for oom
notification.

This patch adds oom notification eventfd callback for memcg.  The usage is
very similar to threshold notifier, but control file is memory.oom_control
and no arguments other than eventfd is required.

(About cgroup_event_notifier, see Documentation/cgroup/)
