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.
