Re: [PATCH] fix sleeping while atomic problem in sock mem_cgroup.

Since we can't scan the proto_list to initialize sock cgroups, as it
holds a rwlock, and we also want to keep the code generic enough to
avoid calling the initialization functions of protocols directly,
I propose we keep the interested parties in a separate list. This list
is protected by a mutex so we can sleep and do the necessary allocations.

Also fixes a reference problem found by Randy Dunlap's randconfig.

Two small changes please:

1) Add an appropriate prefix to your subject line indicating the subsystem
   being changed by this patch, "net: fix sleeping ..." would be appropriate
   in this case.

2) Put the ifdef'ery into the memcontrol.h header file, rather than sock.c,
   f.e. rename register_sock_cgroup to __register_sock_cgroup(), and
   unregister_sock_cgroup to __unregister_sock_cgroup.  Then create two
   helper inlines in memcontrolh:

	#ifdef CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_KMEM
	static inline void register_sock_cgroup(struct proto *prot)
	{
		if (prot->proto_cgroup != NULL)
			register_sock_cgroup(prot);
	}
	static inline void unregister_sock_cgroup(struct proto *prot)
	{
		if (prot->proto_cgroup != NULL)
			unregister_sock_cgroup(prot);
	}
	#else
	static inline void register_sock_cgroup(struct proto *prot)
	{
	}
	static inline void unregister_sock_cgroup(struct proto *prot)
	{
	}
	#endif

   Then call these helpers unconditionally in net/core/sock.c

   That way you don't need any ifdefs in that file at all.
