Subject: [PATCH] memcg: fix swapcache charge from kernel thread context
284f39afeaa4 (mm: memcg: push !mm handling out to page cache charge
function) explicitly checks for page cache charges without any mm
context (from kernel thread context[1]).
This seemed to be the only possible case where memory could be charged
without mm context so 03583f1a631c (memcg: remove unnecessary !mm check
from try_get_mem_cgroup_from_mm()) removed the mm check from
get_mem_cgroup_from_mm. This however caused another NULL ptr dereference
during early boot when loopback kernel thread splices to tmpfs as reported
by Stephan Kulow:

This patch fixes the issue by reintroducing mm check into get_mem_cgroup_from_mm.
We could do the same trick in __mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin as we do
for the regular page cache path but it is not worth troubles. The check
is not that expensive and it is better to have get_mem_cgroup_from_mm
more robust.
