mainlining shenanigans

Before the for-each-CPU loop, preemption is disabled so that so that drain_local_stock() can be invoked directly instead of scheduling a worker. Ensuring that drain_local_stock() completed on the local CPU is not correctness problem. It _could_ be that the charging path will be forced to reclaim memory because cached charges are still waiting for their draining. Disabling preemption before invoking drain_local_stock() is problematic on PREEMPT_RT due to the sleeping locks involved. To ensure that no CPU migrations happens across for_each_online_cpu() it is enouhg to use migrate_disable() which disables migration and keeps context preemptible to a sleeping lock can be acquired. A race with CPU hotplug is not a problem because pcp data is not going away. In the worst case we just schedule draining of an empty stock. Use migrate_disable() instead of get_cpu() around the for_each_online_cpu() loop.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
