[PATCH v2 7/9] workingset: memcg: sleep when flushing stats in workingset_refault()

[Yosry Ahmed]

In workingset_refault(), we call
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited() to flush stats within an
RCU read section and with sleeping disallowed. Move the call above
the RCU read section and allow sleeping to avoid unnecessarily
performing a lot of work without sleeping.

Since workingset_refault() is the only caller of
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic_ratelimited(), just make it non-atomic,
and rename it to mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited().
