Jiayuan Chen f11ff47ee9 mm: memcg: reset zswap settings in css_reset
mem_cgroup_css_reset() is called when the memory controller is disabled on
a cgroup but the memcg cannot be destroyed because it is pinned by a
subsystem dependency -- for example, the io controller declares
.depends_on = 1 << memory_cgrp_id, so memory remains in the cgroup_ss_mask
and the css is hidden rather than killed.

The purpose of css_reset is to revert the memcg to its vanilla state so
that no policies are applied and the css can be safely made visible again
later.  Currently, all page counters (memory.max, swap.max, kmem.max,
tcpmem.max) and other limits (soft_limit, memory.high, swap.high) are
reset to their defaults, but zswap_max and zswap_writeback are not.

These fields are initialized in css_alloc (zswap_max = PAGE_COUNTER_MAX,
zswap_writeback inherited from parent) but were missing from css_reset. 
As a result, stale zswap policies remain in effect after css_reset: the
zswap charge path (obj_cgroup_may_zswap) continues to enforce the old
zswap_max limit, and the writeback path continues to honor the old
zswap_writeback setting, even though the memory controller has been
"disabled" on this cgroup.

Reset zswap_max to PAGE_COUNTER_MAX and zswap_writeback to true, matching
their defaults in css_alloc.

Test:
	echo "+memory +io" > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control

	mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
	mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test/child

	echo "+memory +io" > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.subtree_control
	echo 10000 > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/child/memory.zswap.max

	# child/memory.swap.max and child/memory.zswam.max disappear
	echo "-memory" > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.subtree_control

	# re-enable memory control
	echo "+memory" > /sys/fs/cgroup/test/cgroup.subtree_control

	# before this patch
	cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/child/memory.zswap.max
	    8192

	# after this patch, same as memory.swap.max
	cat /sys/fs/cgroup/test/child/memory.zswap.max
	    max
