mm: zswap: fix shrinker NULL crash with cgroup_disable=memory
commit 682886ec69d22363819a83ddddd5d66cb5c791e1 upstream.
Christian reports a NULL deref in zswap that he bisected down to the zswap
shrinker. The issue also cropped up in the bug trackers of libguestfs [1]
and the Red Hat bugzilla [2].
The problem is that when memcg is disabled with the boot time flag, the
zswap shrinker might get called with sc->memcg == NULL. This is okay in
many places, like the lruvec operations. But it crashes in
memcg_page_state() - which is only used due to the non-node accounting of
cgroup's the zswap memory to begin with.
Nhat spotted that the memcg can be NULL in the memcg-disabled case, and I
was then able to reproduce the crash locally as well.
