Glauber Costa 0e90b31f4b net: introduce res_counter_charge_nofail() for socket allocations
There is a case in __sk_mem_schedule(), where an allocation
is beyond the maximum, but yet we are allowed to proceed.
It happens under the following condition:

	sk->sk_wmem_queued + size >= sk->sk_sndbuf

The network code won't revert the allocation in this case,
meaning that at some point later it'll try to do it. Since
this is never communicated to the underlying res_counter
code, there is an inbalance in res_counter uncharge operation.

I see two ways of fixing this:

1) storing the information about those allocations somewhere
   in memcg, and then deducting from that first, before
   we start draining the res_counter,
2) providing a slightly different allocation function for
   the res_counter, that matches the original behavior of
   the network code more closely.

I decided to go for #2 here, believing it to be more elegant,
since #1 would require us to do basically that, but in a more
obscure way.
