[PATCH] mm: change memcg->oom_group access with atomic operations

[Yue Zhao]

The knob for cgroup v2 memory controller: memory.oom.group
will be read and written simultaneously by user space
programs, thus we'd better change memcg->oom_group access
with atomic operations to avoid concurrency problems.
