Memory controller: make page_referenced() cgroup aware

Make page_referenced() cgroup aware.  Without this patch, page_referenced()
can cause a page to be skipped while reclaiming pages.  This patch ensures
that other cgroups do not hold pages in a particular cgroup hostage.  It
is required to ensure that shared pages are freed from a cgroup when they
are not actively referenced from the cgroup that brought them in
