Bhupesh Sharma 82ff165cd3 mm/memcontrol: fix OOPS inside mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages()
Prabhakar reported an OOPS inside mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages()
function in a corner case seen on some arm64 boards when kdump kernel
runs with "cgroup_disable=memory" passed to the kdump kernel via
bootargs.

The root-cause behind the same is that currently mem_cgroup_swap_init()
function is implemented as a subsys_initcall() call instead of a
core_initcall(), this means 'cgroup_memory_noswap' still remains set to
the default value (false) even when memcg is disabled via
"cgroup_disable=memory" boot parameter.

This may result in premature OOPS inside mem_cgroup_get_nr_swap_pages()
function in corner cases:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000188
  Mem abort info:

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.
