[patch 2/3] mm: memcontrol: pull the NULL check from __mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree()

[Johannes Weiner]

The NULL in mm_match_cgroup() comes from a possibly exiting mm->owner.
It makes a lot more sense to check where it's looked up, rather than
check for it in __mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree() where it's unexpected.

No other callsite passes NULL to __mem_cgroup_same_or_subtree().
