[PATCH] mm: zswap: fix shrinker NULL crash with cgroup_disable=memory

[Johannes Weiner]

Christian reports a NULL deref in zswap that he bisected down to the
zswap shrinker. The issue also cropped up in the bug trackers of
libguestfs [1] and the Red Hat bugzilla [2].

The problem is that when memcg is disabled with the boot time flag,
the zswap shrinker might get called with sc->memcg == NULL. This is
okay in many places, like the lruvec operations. But it crashes in
memcg_page_state() - which is only used due to the non-node accounting
of cgroup's the zswap memory to begin with.

Nhat spotted that the memcg can be NULL in the memcg-disabled case,
and I was then able to reproduce the crash locally as well.
