mm: fix null pointer dereference in mem_cgroup_protected
Shakeel reported a crash in mem_cgroup_protected(), which can be triggered
by memcg reclaim if the legacy cgroup v1 use_hierarchy=0 mode is used:

The problem happens because parent_mem_cgroup() returns a NULL pointer,
which is dereferenced later without a check.
As cgroup v1 has no memory guarantee support, let's make
mem_cgroup_protected() immediately return MEMCG_PROT_NONE, if the given
cgroup has no parent (non-hierarchical mode is used).
