[PATCH v2 5/5] mm/memcontrol: Remove flags from memcg_stock_pcp

[Leonardo Bras]

The flags member of struct memcg_stock_pcp has only one used bit:
FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE

Both struct member and flag were created to avoid scheduling multiple
instances of kworkers running drain_local_stock() for a single cpu.

How could this scenario happen before:
- drain_all_stock() gets called, get ownership of percpu_charge_mutex,
  schedules a drain_local_stock() on cpu X, and drops ownership of
  percpu_charge_mutex.
- Another thread calls drain_all_stock(), get ownership of
  percpu_charge_mutex, schedules a drain_local_stock() on cpu X, ...

Since the stock draining is now performed by the thread running
drain_all_stock(), and happens before letting go of the
percpu_charge_mutex, there is no chance of another drain happening
between test_and_set_bit() and clear_bit(), so flags is now useless.

Remove the flags member of memcg_stock_pcp, its usages and the
FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE define.
