[PATCH 3.11 051/208] 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.

[Luis Henriques]

3.11.10.2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
