[PATCH v2 05/21] mm: list_lru: remove lru node locking from memcg_update_list_lru_node

[Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com>]

Since commit e5bc3af7734f ("rcu: Consolidate PREEMPT and !PREEMPT
synchronize_rcu()"), the critical section of spinlock can serve
as RCU read-side critical section. So we can remove the locking
from memcg_update_list_lru_node().
