SubjectRe: general protection fault in __mem_cgroup_free
Here we go

Subject: [PATCH] memcg: fix per_node_info cleanup

syzbot has triggered a NULL ptr dereference when allocation fault
injection enforces a failure and alloc_mem_cgroup_per_node_info
initializes memcg->nodeinfo only half way through. __mem_cgroup_free
still tries to free all per-node data and dereferences pn->lruvec_stat_cpu
unconditioanlly even if the specific per-node data hasn't been
initialized.

The bug is quite unlikely to hit because small allocations do not fail
and we would need quite some numa nodes to make struct mem_cgroup_per_node
large enough to cross the costly order.
