mm, memcg: protect mem_cgroup_read_events for cpu hotplug
for_each_online_cpu() needs the protection of {get,put}_online_cpus() so cpu_online_mask doesn't change during the iteration. cpu_hotplug.lock is held while a cpu is going down, it's a coarse lock that is used kernel-wide to synchronize cpu hotplug activity. Memcg has a cpu hotplug notifier, called while there may not be any cpu hotplug refcounts, which drains per-cpu event counts to memcg->nocpu_base.events to maintain a cumulative event count as cpus disappear. Without get_online_cpus() in mem_cgroup_read_events(), it's possible to account for the event count on a dying cpu twice, and this value may be significantly large. In fact, all memcg->pcp_counter_lock use should be nested by {get,put}_online_cpus(). This fixes that issue and ensures the reported statistics are not vastly over-reported during cpu hotplug.
