[PATCH RT] mm/memcg: Fix recursive locking on refill_stock() on PREEMPT_RT

[Zachary Goldstein via B4 Relay]

From: Zachary Goldstein <zachary.goldstein@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

5.10 suffers from the same recursive locking issue that
commit a848d25434de4 ("mm/memcg: Opencode the inner part of
obj_cgroup_uncharge_pages() in drain_obj_stock()") fixes.

Modified description from the commit to reflect this patch changes:

Provide the inner part of refill_stock() as __refill_stock() without
disabling interrupts. This eases the integration of local_lock_t where
recursive locking must be avoided.
Open code __memcg_kmem_uncharge() in drain_obj_stock() and
obj_cgroup_release() and use __refill_stock(). The caller of
drain_obj_stock() and obj_cgroup_release() already disables interrupts.
