Subject: [PATCH] memcg: fix per_node_info cleanup

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>

syzbot has triggered a NULL ptr dereference when allocation fault
injection enforces a failure and alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info
initializes memcg->nodeinfo only half way through. __mem_cgroup_free
still tries to free all per-node data and dereferences pn->lruvec_stat_cpu
unconditioanlly even if the specific per-node data hasn't been
initialized.

The bug is quite unlikely to hit because small allocations do not fail
and we would need quite some numa nodes to make struct mem_cgroup_per_node
large enough to cross the costly order.

Hi!
Previously posted [1] based on the syzkaller report [2]. I haven't heard
back from syzkaller but this seems like the right fix. Andrew could you
add this to the pile?
