commit b512719f771a82180211c9a315b8a7f628832b3d upstream.
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 c96f5471ce7d ("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.
