memcg: gix memory accounting scalability in shrink_page_list

I noticed in a multi-process parallel files reading benchmark I ran on a 8
socket machine, throughput slowed down by a factor of 8 when I ran the
benchmark within a cgroup container.  I traced the problem to the
following code path (see below) when we are trying to reclaim memory from
file cache.  The res_counter_uncharge function is called on every page
that's reclaimed and created heavy lock contention.  The patch below
allows the reclaimed pages to be uncharged from the resource counter in
batch and recovered the regression.
