memcg: support hierarchical memory.numa_stats
The memory.numa_stat file was not hierarchical. Memory charged to the
children was not shown in parent's numa_stat.
This change adds the "hierarchical_" stats to the existing stats. The new
hierarchical stats include the sum of all children's values in addition to
the value of the memcg.
Tested: Create cgroup a, a/b and run workload under b. The values of
b are included in the "hierarchical_*" under a.
$ cd /sys/fs/cgroup
$ echo 1 > memory.use_hierarchy
$ mkdir a a/b
Run workload in a/b:
$ (echo $BASHPID >> a/b/cgroup.procs && cat /some/file && bash) &
The hierarchical_ fields in parent (a) show use of workload in a/b:
$ cat a/memory.numa_stat
