Subject: [PATCH 4.20 27/57] fork, memcg: fix cached_stacks case

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

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

From: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@...gle.com>

commit ba4a45746c362b665e245c50b870615f02f34781 upstream.

Commit 5eed6f1dff87 ("fork,memcg: fix crash in free_thread_stack on
memcg charge fail") fixes a crash caused due to failed memcg charge of
the kernel stack.  However the fix misses the cached_stacks case which
this patch fixes.  So, the same crash can happen if the memcg charge of
a cached stack is failed.
