Subject: memcg: change memcg_oom_mutex to spinlock
From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz>

memcg_oom_mutex is used to protect memcg OOM path and eventfd interface
for oom_control.  None of the critical sections which it protects sleep
(eventfd_signal works from atomic context and the rest are simple linked
list resp.  oom_lock atomic operations).

Mutex is also too heavyweight for those code paths because it triggers a
lot of scheduling.  It also makes makes convoying effects more visible
when we have a big number of oom killing because we take the lock mutliple
times during mem_cgroup_handle_oom so we have multiple places where many
processes can sleep.
