Shakeel Butt 7961eee397 mm: memcontrol: fix NULL-ptr deref in percpu stats flush
__mem_cgroup_free() can be called on the failure path in
mem_cgroup_alloc().  However memcg_flush_percpu_vmstats() and
memcg_flush_percpu_vmevents() which are called from __mem_cgroup_free()
access the fields of memcg which can potentially be null if called from
failure path from mem_cgroup_alloc().  Indeed syzbot has reported the
following crash:

	kasan: CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE enabled
	kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access

Fixing this by moving the flush to mem_cgroup_free as there is no need
to flush anything if we see failure in mem_cgroup_alloc().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
