Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcg: fix NULL pointer in mem_cgroup_track_foreign_dirty()

As commit 18365225f044 ("hwpoison, memcg: forcibly uncharge LRU pages"),
hwpoison will forcibly uncharg a LRU hwpoisoned page, the folio_memcg
could be NULl, then, mem_cgroup_track_foreign_dirty_slowpath() could
occurs a NULL pointer dereference, let's do not record the foreign
writebacks for folio memcg is null in mem_cgroup_track_foreign() to
fix it.
