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.
