memcg: Fix race condition in memcg_check_events() with this_cpu usage

Browse Source 
Various code in memcontrol.c () calls this_cpu_read() on the calculations
to be done from two different percpu variables, or does an open-coded
read-modify-write on a single percpu variable.

Disable preemption throughout these operations so that the writes go to
the correct palces.

[hannes@cmpxchg.org: added this_cpu to __this_cpu conversion]
