RIP mem_cgroup_oom_synchronize+0x140/0x240
Commit fb2a6fc56be6 ("mm: memcg: rework and document OOM waiting and
wakeup") has moved mem_cgroup_oom_notify outside of memcg_oom_lock
assuming it is protected by the hierarchical OOM-lock.
Although this is true for the notification part the protection doesn't
cover unregistration of event which can happen in parallel now so
mem_cgroup_oom_notify can see already unlinked and/or freed
mem_cgroup_eventfd_list.
Fix this by using memcg_oom_lock also in mem_cgroup_oom_notify.
