Subject: [PATCH 6/7] memcg: no stock lock for cpu hot-unplug

Previously on the cpu hot-unplug, the kernel would call
drain_obj_stock() with objcg local lock. However local lock was not
needed as the stock which was accessed belongs to a dead cpu but we kept
it there to disable irqs as drain_obj_stock() may call
mod_objcg_mlstate() which required irqs disabled. However there is no
need to disable irqs now for mod_objcg_mlstate(), so we can remove the
local lock altogether from cpu hot-unplug path.
