memcg: fix thresholds for 32b architectures.

Commit f7418daeebde ("memcg: convert threshold to bytes") has fixed a
regression introduced by eb426bfca325 ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page
counters") where thresholds were silently converted to use page units
rather than bytes when interpreting the user input.

The fix is not complete, though, as properly pointed out by Ben Hutchings
during stable backport review.  The page count is converted to bytes but
unsigned long is used to hold the value which would be obviously not
sufficient for 32b systems with more than 4G thresholds.  The same applies
to usage as taken from mem_cgroup_usage which might overflow.

Let's remove this bytes vs.  pages internal tracking differences and
handle thresholds in page units internally.  Chage mem_cgroup_usage() to
return the value in page units and revert f7418daeebde because this should
be sufficient for the consistent handling.  mem_cgroup_read_u64 as the
only users of mem_cgroup_usage outside of the threshold handling code is
converted to give the proper in bytes result.  It is doing that already
for page_counter output so this is more consistent as well.

The value presented to the userspace is still in bytes units.

don't attempt to inline mem_cgroup_usage()

The compiler ignores the inline anwyay.  And __always_inlining it adds 600
bytes of goop to the .o file.
