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.
