memcg: prevent endless loop when charging huge pages to near-limit group
If reclaim after a failed charging was unsuccessful, the limits are checked again, just in case they settled by means of other tasks. This is all fine as long as every charge is of size PAGE_SIZE, because in that case, being below the limit means having at least PAGE_SIZE bytes available. But with transparent huge pages, we may end up in an endless loop where charging and reclaim fail, but we keep going because the limits are not yet exceeded, although not allowing for a huge page. Fix this up by explicitely checking for enough room, not just whether we are within limits.
