We don't have an interface to reset mem.limit or memsw.limit now.

This patch allows to reset mem.limit or memsw.limit when they are being
set to -1.

<title>memcg: fix behavior under memory.limit equals to memsw.limit</title>

A user can set memcg.limit_in_bytes == memcg.memsw.limit_in_bytes when the
user just want to limit the total size of applications, in other words,
not very interested in memory usage itself.  In this case, swap-out will
be done only by global-LRU.

But, under current implementation, memory.limit_in_bytes is checked at
first and try_to_free_page() may do swap-out.  But, that swap-out is
useless for memsw.limit_in_bytes and the thread may hit limit again.

This patch tries to fix the current behavior at memory.limit ==
memsw.limit case.  And documentation is updated to explain the behavior of
this special case.

The description about various statistics from memory.stat is not accurate
and confusing at times.

Correct this along with a few other minor cleanups.
