Subject: [PATCH 4.17 007/336] delayacct: fix crash in delayacct_blkio_end() after delayacct init failure

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

commit b512719f771a82180211c9a315b8a7f628832b3d upstream.

While forking, if delayacct init fails due to memory shortage, it
continues expecting all delayacct users to check task->delays pointer
against NULL before dereferencing it, which all of them used to do.

Commit c96f5471ce7d ("delayacct: Account blkio completion on the correct
task"), while updating delayacct_blkio_end() to take the target task
instead of always using %current, made the function test NULL on
%current->delays and then continue to operated on @p->delays.  If
%current succeeded init while @p didn't, it leads to the following
crash.

Fix it by updating delayacct_blkio_end() check @p->delays instead.
