Yang Shi fa1e512fac mm: vmscan: check if mem cgroup is disabled or not before calling memcg slab shrinker
Shakeel Butt reported premature oom on kernel with
"cgroup_disable=memory" since mem_cgroup_is_root() returns false even
though memcg is actually NULL.  The drop_caches is also broken.

It is because commit aeed1d325d ("mm/vmscan.c: generalize
shrink_slab() calls in shrink_node()") removed the !memcg check before
!mem_cgroup_is_root().  And, surprisingly root memcg is allocated even
though memory cgroup is disabled by kernel boot parameter.

Add mem_cgroup_disabled() check to make reclaimer work as expected.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
