Revert "memcg: get rid of percpu_charge_mutex lock"

This reverts commit 8521fc50.

The patch incorrectly assumes that using atomic FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE
bit operations is sufficient but that is not true.  Johannes Weiner has
reported a crash during parallel memory cgroup removal:

We are crashing because we try to dereference cached memcg when we are
checking whether we should wait for draining on the cache.  The cache is
already cleaned up, though.

There is also a theoretical chance that the cached memcg gets freed
between we test for the FLUSHING_CACHED_CHARGE and dereference it in
mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree:

        CPU0                    CPU1                         CPU2
  mem=stock->cached
  stock->cached=NULL
                              clear_bit
                                                        test_and_set_bit
  test_bit()                    ...
  <preempted>             mem_cgroup_destroy
  use after free

The percpu_charge_mutex protected from this race because sync draining
is exclusive.

It is safer to revert now and come up with a more parallel
implementation later.
