[patch] Documentation: memcg: future proof hierarchical statistics documentation

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Tue Apr 24 2012 - 15:34:08 EST


The hierarchical versions of per-memcg counters in memory.stat are all
calculated the same way and are all named total_<counter>.

Documenting the pattern is easier for maintenance than listing each
counter twice.
