[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-container] set memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes

[Wolfgang Bumiller]

Memcg/kmem reclaim support has been merged since kernel 4.1,
so it makes sense to include this.

Closes #820
---
 Not sure if this is strictly necessasry as kmem counts into the same
 main memory counter and a simple :(){:|:&};: bomb behaves the same with
 and without. Anyway, from Documentation/cgroups/memory.txt:

    U != 0, K = unlimited:
    This is the standard memcg limitation mechanism already present before kmem
    accounting. Kernel memory is completely ignored.

    U != 0, K >= U:
    Since kmem charges will also be fed to the user counter and reclaim will be
    triggered for the cgroup for both kinds of memory. This setup gives the
    admin a unified view of memory, and it is also useful for people who just
    want to track kernel memory usage.
