Subject: memory controller: soft limit organize cgroups v9 fix
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y CONFIG_PREEMPT=y mmotm fails to boot:
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found; after lots of scheduling
while atomics, starting from when async_thread does sd_probe_async.

mem_cgroup_soft_limit_check() was doing an unbalanced get_cpu(): don't
get_cpu if we won't need it, and put_cpu if we did get_cpu.

And fix the silliness of passing it an "over_soft_limit" argument
that just tells it to return false when false.
