Subject: [PATCH] blkcg: have bh disable for 32bit UP system reading 64bit stats

From: Hong Zhiguo <zhiguohong@...cent.com>

Update of blkg_stat and blkg_rwstat may happen in bh context.
While u64_stats_fetch_retry is only preempt_disable on 32bit
UP system. This is not enough to avoid preemption by bh and
may read strange 64 bit value.
