Various code in memcontrol.c () calls this_cpu_read() on the calculations
to be done from two different percpu variables, or does an open-coded
read-modify-write on a single percpu variable.

Disable preemption throughout these operations so that the writes go to
the correct palces.

[ Added this_cpu to __this_cpu conversion by Johannes ]
