rescounters: add res_counter_uncharge_until()

Browse source 
When killing a res_counter which is a child of other counter, we need to
do

	res_counter_uncharge(child, xxx)
	res_counter_charge(parent, xxx)

This is not atomic and wastes CPU.  This patch adds
res_counter_uncharge_until().  This function's uncharge propagates to
ancestors until specified res_counter.

	res_counter_uncharge_until(child, parent, xxx)

Now the operation is atomic and efficient.
