An NMI that lands on a CPU mid-update of the\nChaCha batch state and recurses into the random subsystem would corrupt\nthat state. The memcg_stock local_trylock prevents re-entry on the percpu\nstock itself, but cannot protect an unrelated subsystem's per-cpu lock.\n\nReplace the random pick with a per-cpu round-robin counter stored in\nmemcg_stock_pcp and serialized by the same local_trylock that already\nguards cached[] and nr_pages[].
