Commit 72f0184c ("mm, memcg: remove hotplug locking from try_charge") introduced css_tryget()/css_put() calls in drain_all_stock(), which are supposed to protect the target memory cgroup from being released during the mem_cgroup_is_descendant() call. However, it's not completely safe. In theory, memcg can go away between reading stock->cached pointer and calling css_tryget(). This can happen if drain_all_stock() races with drain_local_stock() performed on the remote cpu as a result of a work, scheduled by the previous invocation of drain_all_stock(). The race is a bit theoretical and there are few chances to trigger it, but the current code looks a bit confusing, so it makes sense to fix it anyway. The code looks like as if css_tryget() and css_put() are used to protect stocks drainage. It's not necessary because stocked pages are holding references to the cached cgroup. And it obviously won't work for works, scheduled on other cpus. So, let's read the stock->cached pointer and evaluate the memory cgroup inside a rcu read section, and get rid of css_tryget()/css_put() calls.
