mm: memcg: use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() to access stock->cached
A memcg pointer in the percpu stock can be accessed by drain_all_stock() from another cpu in a lockless way. In theory it might lead to an issue, similar to the one which has been discovered with stock->cached_objcg, where the pointer was zeroed between the check for being NULL and dereferencing. In this case the issue is unlikely a real problem, but to make it bulletproof and similar to stock->cached_objcg, let's annotate all accesses to stock->cached with READ_ONCE()/WTRITE_ONCE().
