[PATCH] [RT] avoid preemption in memory controller code

[Tim Blechmann]

the lru_lock of struct mem_group_per_zone is used to avoid preemption
during the mem_cgroup_charge_statistics function. this does not work
correctly, when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is enabled.
therefore, the preemption is disabled using the preempt_disable_rt macro
in these cases.
