Breno Leitao 1872b3bcd5 mm: memcg: use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to access stock->nr_pages
A memcg pointer in the per-cpu stock can be accessed by
drain_all_stock() and consume_stock() in parallel, causing a potential
race, which is believed to e harmless.

KCSAN shows this data-race clearly in the splat below:

	BUG: KCSAN: data-race in drain_all_stock.part.0 / try_charge_memcg

	write to 0xffff88903f8b0788 of 4 bytes by task 35901 on cpu 2:
	try_charge_memcg (mm/memcontrol.c:2323 mm/memcontrol.c:2746)

	handle_mm_fault (mm/memory.c:5606)

			arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1563)
	asm_exc_page_fault (./arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:623)

	read to 0xffff88903f8b0788 of 4 bytes by task 287 on cpu 27:
	drain_all_stock.part.0 (mm/memcontrol.c:2433)
	mem_cgroup_css_offline (mm/memcontrol.c:5398 mm/memcontrol.c:5687)

	ret_from_fork (arch/x86/kernel/process.c:147)
	ret_from_fork_asm (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:257)

	value changed: 0x00000014 -> 0x00000013

This happens because drain_all_stock() is reading stock->nr_pages, while
consume_stock() might be updating the same address, causing a potential
data-race.

Make the shared addresses bulletproof regarding to reads and writes,
similarly to what stock->cached_objcg and stock->cached.
Annotate all accesses to stock->nr_pages with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
