From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: cgroup: use irqsave in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked().

All callers of cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() acquire cgroup_rstat_lock
either with spin_lock_irq() or spin_lock_irqsave(). 
cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() itself acquires cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock which is
a raw_spin_lock.  This lock is also acquired in cgroup_rstat_updated() in
IRQ context and therefore requires _irqsave() locking suffix in
cgroup_rstat_flush_locked().

Since there is no difference between spin_lock_t and raw_spin_lock_t on
!RT lockdep does not complain here.  On RT lockdep complains because the
interrupts were not disabled here and a deadlock is possible.

Acquire the raw_spin_lock_t with disabled interrupts.
