In mem cgroup, we need to guarantee that two concurrent updates
of the jump_label interface wait for each other. IOW, we can't have
other updates returning while the first one is still patching the
kernel around, otherwise we'll race.

I believe this is something that can fit well in the static branch
API, without noticeable disadvantages:

* in the common case, it will be a quite simple lock/unlock operation
* Every context that calls static_branch_slow* already expects to be
  in sleeping context because it will mutex_lock the unlikely case.
* static_key_slow_inc is not expected to be called in any fast path,
  otherwise it would be expected to have quite a different name. Therefore
  the mutex + atomic combination instead of just an atomic should not kill
  us.
