[PATCH 5/5] memcg: make memcg_rstat_updated nmi safe
From: Shakeel Butt

memcg: convert stats_updates to atomic_t
Currently kernel maintains memory related stats updates per-cgroup to
optimize stats flushing. The stats_updates is defined as atomic64_t
which is not nmi-safe on some archs. Actually we don't really need 64bit
atomic as the max value stats_updates can get should be less than
nr_cpus * MEMCG_CHARGE_BATCH. A normal atomic_t should suffice.
Also the function cgroup_rstat_updated() is still not nmi-safe but there
is parallel effort to make it nmi-safe, so until then let's ignore it in
the nmi context.
