memcg: make it work on sparse non-0-node systems

Browse Source 
We have a single node system with node 0 disabled:
  Scanning NUMA topology in Northbridge 24
  Number of physical nodes 2
  Skipping disabled node 0
  Node 1 MemBase 0000000000000000 Limit 00000000fbff0000
  NODE_DATA(1) allocated [mem 0xfbfda000-0xfbfeffff]

This causes crashes in memcg when system boots:
  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
  #PF error: [normal kernel read fault]
...
  RIP: 0010:list_lru_add+0x94/0x170
...
  Call Trace:
   d_lru_add+0x44/0x50
   dput.part.34+0xfc/0x110
   __fput+0x108/0x230
   task_work_run+0x9f/0xc0
   exit_to_usermode_loop+0xf5/0x100

It is reproducible as far as 4.12.  I did not try older kernels.  You have
to have a new enough systemd, e.g.  241 (the reason is unknown -- was not
investigated).  Cannot be reproduced with systemd 234.

The system crashes because the size of lru array is never updated in
memcg_update_all_list_lrus and the reads are past the zero-sized array,
causing dereferences of random memory.

The root cause are list_lru_memcg_aware checks in the list_lru code.  The
test in list_lru_memcg_aware is broken: it assumes node 0 is always
present, but it is not true on some systems as can be seen above.

So fix this by avoiding checks on node 0.  Remember the memcg-awareness by
a bool flag in struct list_lru.
