Subject: [PATCH] Fix: Dereference pointer-value of sk_prot->memory_pressure

From: Christoph Paasch <christoph.paasch@...ouvain.be>
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2013 12:49:21 -0700

2e685cad57 (tcp_memcontrol: Kill struct tcp_memcontrol) falsly modified
the access to memory_pressure of sk->sk_prot->memory_pressure. The patch
did modify the memory_pressure-field of struct cg_proto, but not the one
of struct proto.

So, the access to sk_prot->memory_pressure should not be changed.

Resent because I fat fingered and deleted Dave by accident.
