mm/memcg: revert ("mm/memcg: optimize user context object stock access")
Patch series "mm/memcg: Address PREEMPT_RT problems instead of disabling it", v5. This series aims to address the memcg related problem on PREEMPT_RT. I tested them on CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT with the tools/testing/selftests/cgroup/* tests and I haven't observed any regressions (other than the lockdep report that is already there). This patch (of 6): The optimisation is based on a micro benchmark where local_irq_save() is more expensive than a preempt_disable(). There is no evidence that it is visible in a real-world workload and there are CPUs where the opposite is true (local_irq_save() is cheaper than preempt_disable()). Based on micro benchmarks, the optimisation makes sense on PREEMPT_NONE where preempt_disable() is optimized away. There is no improvement with PREEMPT_DYNAMIC since the preemption counter is always available. The optimization makes also the PREEMPT_RT integration more complicated since most of the assumption are not true on PREEMPT_RT. Revert the optimisation since it complicates the PREEMPT_RT integration and the improvement is hardly visible.
