Subject: [PATCH-next v2] mm/memcg: Properly handle memcg_stock access for PREEMPT_RT

Direct calls to local_irq_{save/restore}() and preempt_{enable/disable}()
are not appropriate for PREEMPT_RT. To provide better PREEMPT_RT support,
change local_irq_{save/restore}() to local_lock_irq{save/restore}() and
add a local_lock_t to struct memcg_stock_pcp.

Also disable the task and interrupt context optimization for obj_stock as
there will be no performance gain in the case of PREEMPT_RT. In this case,
task obj_stock will be there but remain unused.

Note that preempt_enable() and preempt_disable() in get_obj_stock() and
put_obj_stock() are not replaced by local_lock() and local_unlock() as it
is possible that a task accessing task_obj may get interrupted and then
access irq_obj concurrently. So using local_lock for task_obj access
may cause lockdep splat.
