mm/memcg: Protect per-CPU counter by disabling preemption on PREEMPT_RT where needed.
The per-CPU counter are modified with the non-atomic modifier. The
consistency is ensured by disabling interrupts for the update.
On non PREEMPT_RT configuration this works because acquiring a
spinlock_t typed lock with the _irq() suffix disables interrupts. On
PREEMPT_RT configurations the RMW operation can be interrupted.
Another problem is that mem_cgroup_swapout() expects to be invoked with
disabled interrupts because the caller has to acquire a spinlock_t which
is acquired with disabled interrupts. Since spinlock_t never disables
interrupts on PREEMPT_RT the interrupts are never disabled at this
point.
The code is never called from in_irq() context on PREEMPT_RT therefore
disabling preemption during the update is sufficient on PREEMPT_RT.
The sections which explicitly disable interrupts can remain on
PREEMPT_RT because the sections remain short and they don't involve
sleeping locks (memcg_check_events() is doing nothing on PREEMPT_RT).
Disable preemption during update of the per-CPU variables which do not
explicitly disable interrupts.
