  Memory reclaim is a sleepable context. Flushing is an expensive
operaiton that scales with the number of cpus and the number of cgroups
in the system, so avoid doing it atomically unnecessarily.
This can slow down reclaim code if flushing stats is taking too long,
but there is already multiple cond_resched()'s in reclaim code.
