memcg: helper function for relcaim from shmem.

A new call, mem_cgroup_shrink_usage() is added for shmem handling and
relacing non-standard usage of mem_cgroup_charge/uncharge.

Now, shmem calls mem_cgroup_charge() just for reclaim some pages from
mem_cgroup.  In general, shmem is used by some process group and not for
global resource (like file caches).  So, it's reasonable to reclaim pages
from mem_cgroup where shmem is mainly used.
