mm, memcg: protect mem_cgroup_read_events for cpu hotplug

Browse Source 
for_each_online_cpu() needs the protection of {get,put}_online_cpus() so
cpu_online_mask doesn't change during the iteration.

cpu_hotplug.lock is held while a cpu is going down, it's a coarse lock
that is used kernel-wide to synchronize cpu hotplug activity.  Memcg has
a cpu hotplug notifier, called while there may not be any cpu hotplug
refcounts, which drains per-cpu event counts to memcg->nocpu_base.events
to maintain a cumulative event count as cpus disappear.  Without
get_online_cpus() in mem_cgroup_read_events(), it's possible to account
for the event count on a dying cpu twice, and this value may be
significantly large.

In fact, all memcg->pcp_counter_lock use should be nested by
{get,put}_online_cpus().

This fixes that issue and ensures the reported statistics are not vastly
over-reported during cpu hotplug.
