[PATCH] memory.min_usage (seqlock for res_counter)

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

This is seqlock version res_counter.
Maybe this this will reduce # of spin_lock.

Pavel-san, How about this ?

-Kame
==
resource counter's spinlock can be seqlock. (res_counter doesn't include
any pointers.)

And it will be good to avoid atomic ops if we can when we just checks
value.
