------------------------------------------------------ From: Shakeel Butt shakeelb@google.com Subject: 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:

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().
