rescounters: add res_counter_uncharge_until()
When killing a res_counter which is a child of other counter, we need to do res_counter_uncharge(child, xxx) res_counter_charge(parent, xxx) This is not atomic and wastes CPU. This patch adds res_counter_uncharge_until(). This function's uncharge propagates to ancestors until specified res_counter. res_counter_uncharge_until(child, parent, xxx) Now the operation is atomic and efficient.
