Subject: memcg: mem_cgroup_migrate() may be called with irq disabled

From: Tejun Heo <[email protected]>

commit d93c4130a7d049b234b5d5a15808eaf5406f2789 upstream.

mem_cgroup_migrate() uses local_irq_disable/enable() but can be called with irq disabled from migrate_page_copy(). This ends up enabling irq while holding a irq context lock triggering the following lockdep warning. Fix it by using irq_save/restore instead.
