Shakeel Butt 5f4d2b0caf Revert "memcg: cleanup racy sum avoidance code" 
commit dbb16df644 upstream.

This reverts commit 96e51ccf1a.

Recently we started running the kernel with rstat infrastructure on
production traffic and begin to see negative memcg stats values.
Particularly the 'sock' stat is the one which we observed having negative
value.

$ grep "sock " /mnt/memory/job/memory.stat
sock 253952
total_sock 18446744073708724224

Re-run after couple of seconds

$ grep "sock " /mnt/memory/job/memory.stat
sock 253952
total_sock 53248

For now we are only seeing this issue on large machines (256 CPUs) and
only with 'sock' stat.  I think the networking stack increase the stat on
one cpu and decrease it on another cpu much more often.  So, this negative
sock is due to rstat flusher flushing the stats on the CPU that has seen
the decrement of sock but missed the CPU that has increments.  A typical
race condition.

For easy stable backport, revert is the most simple solution.  For long
term solution, I am thinking of two directions.  First is just reduce the
race window by optimizing the rstat flusher.  Second is if the reader sees
a negative stat value, force flush and restart the stat collection.
Basically retry but limited.

README 

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.
