The kernel panics on an attempt to dereference the NULL memcg pointer. When shutdown_cache() is called from the kmem_cache_destroy() context, a memcg kmem_cache might have empty slab pages in a partial list, which are still charged to the memory cgroup. These pages are released by free_partial() at the beginning of shutdown_cache(): either directly or by scheduling a RCU-delayed work (if the kmem_cache has the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag). The latter case is when the reported panic can happen: memcg_unlink_cache() is called immediately after shrinking partial lists, without waiting for scheduled RCU works. It sets the kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg pointer to NULL, and the following attempt to dereference it by __free_slab() from the RCU work context causes the panic.
To fix the issue, let's postpone the release of the memcg pointer to destroy_memcg_params(). It's called from a separate work context by slab_caches_to_rcu_destroy_workfn(), which contains a full RCU barrier. This guarantees that all scheduled page release RCU works will complete before the memcg pointer will be zeroed.
Big thanks for Karsten for the perfect report containing all necessary information, his help with the analysis of the problem and testing of the fix.

I believe it's better to include To: Andrew directly to have the patch picked up?

The kernel panics on an attempt to dereference the NULL memcg pointer. When shutdown_cache() is called from the kmem_cache_destroy() context, a memcg kmem_cache might have empty slab pages in a partial list, which are still charged to the memory cgroup. These pages are released by free_partial() at the beginning of shutdown_cache(): either directly or by scheduling a RCU-delayed work (if the kmem_cache has the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag). The latter case is when the reported panic can happen: memcg_unlink_cache() is called immediately after shrinking partial lists, without waiting for scheduled RCU works. It sets the kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg pointer to NULL, and the following attempt to dereference it by __free_slab() from the RCU work context causes the panic.
To fix the issue, let's postpone the release of the memcg pointer to destroy_memcg_params(). It's called from a separate work context by slab_caches_to_rcu_destroy_workfn(), which contains a full RCU barrier. This guarantees that all scheduled page release RCU works will complete before the memcg pointer will be zeroed.
Big thanks for Karsten for the perfect report containing all necessary information, his help with the analysis of the problem and testing of the fix.
