cgroup: use irqsave in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked().

All callers of cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() acquire cgroup_rstat_lock
either with spin_lock_irq() or spin_lock_irqsave().
cgroup_rstat_flush_locked() itself acquires cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock which
is a raw_spin_lock.  This lock is also acquired in
cgroup_rstat_updated() in IRQ context and therefore requires _irqsave()
locking suffix in cgroup_rstat_flush_locked().

Since there is no difference between spin_lock_t and raw_spin_lock_t on
!RT lockdep does not complain here.  On RT lockdep complains because the
interrupts were not disabled here and a deadlock is possible.

Acquire the raw_spin_lock_t with disabled interrupts.

Subject: cgroup: add a comment to cgroup_rstat_flush_locked().

Add a comment why spin_lock_irq() -> raw_spin_lock_irqsave() is needed.
