mm: mmap_lock: replace get_memcg_path_buf() with on-stack buffer
Commit 2b5067a8 ("mm: mmap_lock: add tracepoints around lock acquisition") introduced TRACE_MMAP_LOCK_EVENT() macro using preempt_disable() in order to let get_mm_memcg_path() return a percpu buffer exclusively used by normal, softirq, irq and NMI contexts respectively. Commit 832b5072 ("mm: mmap_lock: use local locks instead of disabling preemption") replaced preempt_disable() with local_lock(&memcg_paths.lock) based on an argument that preempt_disable() has to be avoided because get_mm_memcg_path() might sleep if PREEMPT_RT=y. But syzbot started reporting inconsistent {HARDIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage. and inconsistent {SOFTIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-SOFTIRQ-W} usage. messages, for local_lock() does not disable IRQ. We could replace local_lock() with local_lock_irqsave() in order to suppress these messages. But this patch instead replaces percpu buffers with on-stack buffer, for the size of each buffer returned by get_memcg_...
