Patch-mainline: Queued in subsystem maintainer repository
References: SLE Realtime Extension

The commit "memcontrol: Prevent scheduling while atomic in cgroup code"
fixed this issue:

       refill_stock()
          get_cpu_var()
          drain_stock()
             res_counter_uncharge()
                res_counter_uncharge_until()
                   spin_lock() <== boom

But commit 3e32cb2e0a12b ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters") replaced
the calls to res_counter_uncharge() in drain_stock() to the lockless
function page_counter_uncharge(). There is no more spin lock there and no
more reason to have that local lock.

[bigeasy: That upstream commit appeared in v3.19 and the patch in
  question in v3.18.7-rt2 and v3.18 seems still to be maintained. So I
  guess that v3.18 would need the locallocks that we are about to remove
  here. I am not sure if any earlier versions have the patch
  backported.
  The stable tag here is because Haiyang reported (and debugged) a crash
  in 4.4-RT with this patch applied (which has get_cpu_light() instead
  the locallocks it gained in v4.9-RT).
