memcg: fix memory.high target
When the memory.high threshold is exceeded, try_charge() schedules a
task_work to reclaim the excess. The reclaim target is set to the
number of pages requested by try_charge().
This is wrong, because try_charge() usually charges more pages than
requested (batch > nr_pages) in order to refill per cpu stocks. As a
result, a process in a cgroup can easily exceed memory.high
significantly when doing a lot of charges w/o returning to userspace
(e.g. reading a file in big chunks).
Fix this issue by assuring that when exceeding memory.high a process
reclaims as many pages as were actually charged (i.e. batch).
