Andrew, the 0day tester found a crash with this when special pages get
faulted. They're not charged to any cgroup and we'll deref NULL.

Can you include the following fix on top of this patch please? Thanks!

This is a special page being faulted, and these will never be charged
to a cgroup. Assume the root cgroup for uncharged pages to fix this.
