We are taking hotplug locks while we can be sitting on top of basically arbitrary locks. This just calls for problems. We can get rid of {get,put}_online_cpus, fortunately. We do not have to be worried about races with memory hotplug because drain_local_stock, which is called from both the WQ draining and the memory hotplug contexts, is always operating on the local cpu stock with IRQs disabled. The only thing to be careful about is that the target memcg doesn't vanish while we are still in drain_all_stock so take a reference on it.
