[PATCH 05/17] mm: list_lru: remove holding lru node lock

[Muchun Song]

Since commit e5bc3af7734f ("rcu: Consolidate PREEMPT and !PREEMPT
synchronize_rcu()"), the critical section of spinlock can serve
as RCU read-side critical section. So we can remove redundant
locking from memcg_update_list_lru_node().
