memcg: make memcg->event_list_lock irqsafe

Browse Source 
The memcg->event_list_lock is usually taken in the normal context but when
the userspace closes the corresponding eventfd, eventfd_release through
memcg_event_wake takes memcg->event_list_lock with interrupts disabled.
This is not an issue on its own but it creates a nested dependency from
eventfd_ctx->wqh.lock to memcg->event_list_lock.

Independently, for unrelated eventfd, eventfd_signal() can be called in
the irq context, thus making eventfd_ctx->wqh.lock an irq lock.  For
example, FPGA DFL driver, VHOST VPDA driver and couple of VFIO drivers.
This will force memcg->event_list_lock to be an irqsafe lock as well.

One way to break the nested dependency between eventfd_ctx->wqh.lock and
memcg->event_list_lock is to add an indirection.  However the simplest
solution would be to make memcg->event_list_lock irqsafe.  This is cgroup
v1 feature, is in maintenance and may get deprecated in near future.  So,
no need to add more code.

BTW this has been discussed previously [1] but there weren't irq users of
eventfd_signal() at the time.
