In memcg_slab_free_hook()/pcpu_memcg_free_hook(), obj_cgroup_uncharge()

is inefficient.  Introduce a new function obj_cgroup_uncharge_mod_state()
that combines them with a single irq_save/irq_restore cycle.

The optimization makes sense.

But please don't combine independent operations like this into a
single function. It makes for an unclear parameter list, it's a pain
in the behind to change the constituent operations later on, and it
has a habit of attracting more random bools over time. E.g. what if
the caller already has irqs disabled? What if it KNOWS that irqs are
enabled and it could use local_irq_disable() instead of save?

Just provide an __obj_cgroup_uncharge() that assumes irqs are
disabled, combine with the existing __mod_memcg_lruvec_state(), and
bubble the irq handling up to those callsites which know better.

That will also work. However, the reason I did that was because of patch 5 in the series. I could put the get_obj_stock() and put_obj_stock() code in slab.h and allowed them to be used directly in various places, but hiding in one function is easier.

Anyway, I can change the patch if you think that is the right way.

Cheers,
Longman
