[PATCH 01/18] memcg: make mem_cgroup_read_{stat|event}() iterate possible cpus instead of online

[Tejun Heo]

cpu_possible_mask represents the CPUs which are actually possible
during that boot instance.  For systems which don't support CPU
hotplug, this will match cpu_online_mask exactly in most cases.  Even
for systems which support CPU hotplug, the number of possible CPU
slots is highly unlikely to diverge greatly from the number of online
CPUs.  The only cases where the difference between possible and online
caused problems were when the boot code failed to initialize the
possible mask and left it fully set at NR_CPUS - 1.

As such, most per-cpu constructs allocate for all possible CPUs and
often iterate over the possibles, which also has the benefit of
avoiding the blocking CPU hotplug synchronization.

memcg open codes per-cpu stat counting for mem_cgroup_read_stat() and
mem_cgroup_read_events(), which iterates over online CPUs and handles
CPU hotplug operations explicitly.  This complexity doesn't actually
buy anything.  Switch to iterating over the possibles and drop the
explicit CPU hotplug handling.

Eventually, we want to convert memcg to use percpu_counter instead of
its own custom implementation which also benefits from quick access
w/o summing for cases where larger error margin is acceptable.

This will allow mem_cgroup_read_stat() to be called from non-sleepable
contexts which will be used by cgroup writeback.
