Thanks Guenter.

Can you test if the fix below resolves the problem?

Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcontrol: per-lruvec stats infrastructure fix 2

Even with the previous fix routing !page->mem_cgroup stats to the root
cgroup, we still see crashes in certain configurations as the root is
not initialized for the earliest possible accounting sites in certain
configurations.

Don't track uncharged pages at all, not even in the root. This takes
care of early accounting as well as special pages that aren't tracked.

Because we still need to account at the pgdat level, we can no longer
implement the lruvec_page_state functions on top of the lruvec_state
ones. But that's okay. It was a little silly to look up the nodeinfo
and descend to the lruvec, only to container_of() back to the nodeinfo
where the lruvec_stat structure is sitting.
