[Devel] [RFC][PATCH 1/4] res_counter set_limit and -EBUSY.

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

Add an interface to set limit. This is necessary to memory resource controller
because it shrinks usage at set limit.

(*) Other controller may not need this interface to shrink usage because
    shrinking is not necessary or impossible.

This is an enhancement.
named as res_counter-limit-change-ebusy.patch

Changelog v1->v2
  - fixed white space bug.
