[PATCH 4.10 72/75] mm: do not call mem_cgroup_free() from within mem_cgroup_alloc()

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

------------------

From: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 40e952f9d687928b32db20226f085ae660a7237c upstream.

mem_cgroup_free() indirectly calls wb_domain_exit() which is not
prepared to deal with a struct wb_domain object that hasn't executed
wb_domain_init(). For instance, the following warning message is
printed by lockdep if alloc_percpu() fails in mem_cgroup_alloc():

INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.

Add __mem_cgroup_free() which skips wb_domain_exit(). This is used by
both mem_cgroup_free() and mem_cgroup_alloc() clean up.
