Subject: [BUGFIX v2] memcg: fix res_counter_read_u64 lock aware (Was Re:
 [PATCH] oom: handle overflow in mem_cgroup_out_of_memory()


Thank you for advices. This version doesn't use inlined function
and adds no overhead in 64bit.

Info:
res_counter_read_u64 is not frequently called in memcontrol.c now.
It's called at user-interface and interaction with other components.
This addition of lock will not add any performance troubles.

==
res_counter_read_u64 reads u64 value without lock. It's dangerous
in 32bit environment. This patch adds lock.

Changelog:
 - handle 32/64 bit in other funciton
 - avoid unnecessary inlining.
