A memcg pointer in the per-cpu stock can be accessed by
drain_all_stock() and consume_stock() in parallel, causing a potential
race, which is believed to e harmless.

KCSAN shows this data-race clearly in the splat below:

BUG: KCSAN: data-race in drain_all_stock.part.0 / try_charge_memcg

write to 0xffff88903f8b0788 of 4 bytes by task 35901 on cpu 2:

ret_from_fork (arch/x86/kernel/process.c:147)
ret_from_fork_asm (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:257)

value changed: 0x00000014 -> 0x00000013

This happens because drain_all_stock() is reading stock->nr_pages, while
consume_stock() might be updating the same address, causing a potential
data-race.

Make the shared addresses bulletproof regarding to reads and writes,
similarly to what stock->cached_objcg and stock->cached.
Annotate all accesses to stock->nr_pages with READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE().
