Currently drain_obj_stock() can potentially call __refill_stock which
accesses local cpu stock and thus requires memcg stock's local_lock.
However if we look at the code paths leading to drain_obj_stock(), there
is never a good reason to refill the memcg stock at all from it.

At the moment, drain_obj_stock can be called from reclaim, hotplug cpu
teardown, mod_objcg_state() and refill_obj_stock().  For reclaim and
hotplug there is no need to refill.  For the other two paths, most
probably the newly switched objcg would be used in near future and thus no
need to refill stock with the older objcg.

In addition, __refill_stock() from drain_obj_stock() happens on rare
cases, so performance is not really an issue.  Let's just uncharge
directly instead of refill which will also decouple drain_obj_stock from
local cpu stock and local_lock requirements.
