This patch adds an interface "memory.force_empty".
Any write to this file will drop all charges in this cgroup if
there is no task under.

%echo 1 > /....../memory.force_empty

will drop all charges of memory cgroup if cgroup's tasks is empty.

This is useful to invoke rmdir() against memory cgroup successfully.

Tested and worked well on x86_64/fake-NUMA system.

Changelog v3 -> v4:
  - adjusted to 2.6.23-mm1
  - fixed typo
  - changes buf[2]="0" to static const
Changelog v2 -> v3:
  - changed the name from force_reclaim to force_empty.
Changelog v1 -> v2:
  - added a new interface force_reclaim.
  - changes spin_lock to spin_lock_irqsave().
