[PATCH 6/6] mm, memcg: Prevent mem_cgroup_protected store tearing

[Chris Down]

The read side of this is all protected, but we can still tear if
multiple iterations of mem_cgroup_protected are going at the same time.

There's some intentional racing in mem_cgroup_protected which is ok, but
load/store tearing should be avoided.
