Subject: [PATCH] mm: handle no memcg case in memcg_kmem_charge() properly

Mike Galbraith reported a regression caused by the commit 9b6f7e163cd0
("mm: rework memcg kernel stack accounting") on a system with
"cgroup_disable=memory" boot option: the system panics with the
following stack trace:

The problem occurs because get_mem_cgroup_from_current() returns
the NULL pointer if memory controller is disabled. Let's check
if this is a case at the beginning of memcg_kmem_charge() and
just return 0 if mem_cgroup_disabled() returns true. This is how
we handle this case in many other places in the memory controller
code.
