Series mm/memcg: Address PREEMPT_RT problems instead of disabling it. | expand

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

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.
