Subject: [PATCH RT 3/6] mm/memcontrol: Disable preemption in __mod_memcg_lruvec_state()

5.4.74-rt42-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@...utronix.de>

The callers expect disabled preemption/interrupts while invoking
__mod_memcg_lruvec_state(). This works mainline because a lock of
somekind is acquired.

Use preempt_disable_rt() where per-CPU variables are accessed and a
stable pointer is expected. This is also done in __mod_zone_page_state()
for the same reason.
