Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcontrol: switch to rstat fix

Fix a sleep in atomic section problem: wb_writeback() takes a spinlock
and calls wb_over_bg_thresh() -> mem_cgroup_wb_stats, but the regular
rstat flushing function called from in there does lockbreaking and may
sleep. Switch to the atomic variant, cgroup_rstat_irqsafe().

To be consistent with other memcg flush calls, but without adding
another memcg wrapper, inline and drop memcg_flush_vmstats() instead.

Congratulations(?), the first use of cgroup_rstat_irqsafe().
