memcg: use for_each_mem_cgroup


In memory cgroup management, we sometimes have to walk through
subhierarchy of cgroup to gather informaiton, or lock something, etc.

Now, to do that, mem_cgroup_walk_tree() function is provided.  It calls
given callback function per cgroup found.  But the bad thing is that it
has to pass a fixed style function and argument, "void*" and it adds much
type casting to memcontrol.c.

To make the code clean, this patch replaces walk_tree() with

  for_each_mem_cgroup_tree(iter, root)

An iterator style call.  The good point is that iterator call doesn't have
to assume what kind of function is called under it.  A bad point is that
it may cause reference-count leak if a caller use "break" from the loop by
mistake.

I think the benefit is larger.  The modified code seems straigtforward and
easy to read because we don't have misterious callbacks and pointer cast.
