[PATCH 4.14 308/496] mm, slab: memcg_link the SLABs kmem_cache

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 880cd276dff17ea29e9a8404275c9502b265afa7 ]

All the root caches are linked into slab_root_caches which was
introduced by the commit 510ded33e075 ("slab: implement slab_root_caches
list") but it missed to add the SLAB's kmem_cache.

While experimenting with opt-in/opt-out kmem accounting, I noticed
system crashes due to NULL dereference inside cache_from_memcg_idx()
while deferencing kmem_cache.memcg_params.memcg_caches. The upstream
clean kernel will not see these crashes but SLAB should be consistent
with SLUB which does linked its boot caches (kmem_cache_node and
kmem_cache) into slab_root_caches.
