The more often it no-ops, the sillier it is to be called in
the first place: here's an updated patch which fixes that too.
[PATCH mmotm] memory controller: soft limit organize cgroups v9 fix
CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y CONFIG_PREEMPT=y mmotm fails to boot:
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found; after lots of scheduling
while atomics, starting from when async_thread does sd_probe_async.
mem_cgroup_soft_limit_check() was doing an unbalanced get_cpu():
don't get_cpu if we won't need it, and put_cpu if we did get_cpu.
And fix the silliness of passing it an "over_soft_limit" argument
that just tells it to return false when false.
