Let's move forward. It seems like we are not going to reach an
agreement on making cgroup_rstat_lock a non-irq lock. However there is
agreement on the memcg code of not flushing in irq context and the
cleanup Johannes has requested. Let's proceed with those for now. We
can come back to cgroup_rstat_lock later if we still see issues in
production.

Tejun, do you have any concerns on adding WARN_ON_ONCE(!in_task()) in
the rstat flushing code?
