[PATCH] mm/memcontrol: fix data-race on reading jiffies_64

[Jiayuan Chen]

KCSAN reported a data-race between tick_do_update_jiffies64() updating
jiffies_64 and mem_cgroup_flush_stats_ratelimited() reading it directly.

Unlike jiffies, jiffies_64 is not volatile, so raw reads are plain
accesses and can even be torn on 32-bit. Use get_jiffies_64() instead,
and fix the same pattern in mem_cgroup_flush_foreign().
