memory cgroup enhancements: force_empty interface for dropping all account in empty cgroup

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.
