[PATCH v4 1/5] memcg: disable kmem charging in nmi for unsupported arch

[Shakeel Butt]

The memcg accounting and stats uses this_cpu* and atomic* ops. There are
archs which define CONFIG_HAVE_NMI but does not define
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS and ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG, so
memcg accounting for such archs in nmi context is not possible to
support. Let's just disable memcg accounting in nmi context for such
archs.
