A mem_cgroup's high attribute can be concurrently set at the same time
as we are trying to read it -- for example, if we are in
memory_high_write at the same time as we are trying to do high reclaim.

I assume this is a replace all kinda patch because css_alloc shouldn't
really be a subject to races. I am not sure about css_reset but it
sounds like a safe as well.

That being said I do not object because this cannot be harmful but it
would be nice to mention that in the changelog just in case somebody
wonders about this in future.
