I am not taking this chunk. That preempt_disable() is lower weight
and there is nothing happening that does not work with it.

I am a little more worried that drain_stock() could be called more than
once on the same CPU.
- memcg_cpu_hotplug_callback() doesn't disable preemption
- drain_local_stock() doesn't as well
so maybe it doesn't matter.
