In earlier versions, mem_cgroup_css_from_page() could return non-root css on a legacy hierarchy which can go away and required rcu locking; however, the eventual version simply returns the root cgroup if memcg is on a legacy hierarchy and thus doesn't need rcu locking around or in it. Remove spurious rcu lockings.
