Subject: [PATCH 4.19 100/639] fork,memcg: fix crash in free_thread_stack on memcg charge fail

From: Rik van Riel <riel@...riel.com>

[ Upstream commit 5eed6f1dff87bfb5e545935def3843edf42800f2 ]

Commit 9b6f7e163cd0 ("mm: rework memcg kernel stack accounting") will
result in fork failing if allocating a kernel stack for a task in
dup_task_struct exceeds the kernel memory allowance for that cgroup.

Unfortunately, it also results in a crash.

This is due to the code jumping to free_stack and calling
free_thread_stack when the memcg kernel stack charge fails, but without
tsk->stack pointing at the freshly allocated stack.

This in turn results in the vfree_atomic in free_thread_stack oopsing
with a backtrace like this:

The simplest fix is to assign tsk->stack right where it is allocated.
