This patch implements a helper function that try to get a reference to
an memcg's css, as well as checking if it is online. This new function
is almost exactly the same as the existing mem_cgroup_tryget(), except
for the onlineness check. In the !CONFIG_MEMCG case, it always returns
true, analogous to mem_cgroup_tryget(). This is useful for e.g to the
new zswap writeback scheme, where we need to select the next online
memcg as a candidate for the global limit reclaim.

Hi Nhat,

Very minor nitpick. This patch can fold with the later patch that uses
it. That makes the review easier, no need to cross reference different
patches. It will also make it harder to introduce API that nobody
uses.

I don't have a strong preference one way or the other :) Probably not
worth the churn tho.
