Tejun Heo b512719f77 delayacct: fix crash in delayacct_blkio_end() after delayacct init failure
While forking, if delayacct init fails due to memory shortage, it
continues expecting all delayacct users to check task->delays pointer
against NULL before dereferencing it, which all of them used to do.

Commit c96f5471ce ("delayacct: Account blkio completion on the correct
task"), while updating delayacct_blkio_end() to take the target task
instead of always using %current, made the function test NULL on
%current->delays and then continue to operated on @p->delays.  If
%current succeeded init while @p didn't, it leads to the following
crash.

Fix it by updating delayacct_blkio_end() check @p->delays instead.

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
