This is clearly doing smp_processor_id() in preemptible code.  (or the
preempt_disable() just isn't needed).  I fixed it up.

Please ensure that you test with all runtime debugging options enabled -
you should have seen a warning here.

There's a wild amount of inlining in that file.  Please, just don't do it -
inline is a highly specialised thing and is rarely needed.

When I removed the obviously-wrong inline statements, the size of
mm/memcontrol.o went from 3823 bytes down to 3495.

It also caused this:

mm/memcontrol.c:65: warning: '__mem_cgroup_stat_add' defined but not used

so I guess I'll just remove that.
