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

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.
