mem_cgroup_from_obj() checks the lowest bit of the page->mem_cgroup
pointer to determine if the page has an attached obj_cgroup vector instead
of a regular memcg pointer.  If it's not set, it simple returns the
page->mem_cgroup value as a struct mem_cgroup pointer.

The commit 10befea9 ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches
for all allocations") changed the moment when this bit is set: if
previously it was set on the allocation of the slab page, now it can be
set well after, when the first accounted object is allocated on this page.

It opened a race: if page->mem_cgroup is set concurrently after the first
page_has_obj_cgroups(page) check, a pointer to the obj_cgroups array can
be returned as a memory cgroup pointer.

A simple check for page->mem_cgroup pointer for NULL before the
page_has_obj_cgroups() check fixes the race.  Indeed, if the pointer is
not NULL, it's either a simple mem_cgroup pointer or a pointer to
obj_cgroup vector.  The pointer can be asynchronously changed from NULL to
(obj_cgroup_vec | 0x1UL), but can't be changed from a valid memcg pointer
to objcg vector or back.

If the object passed to mem_cgroup_from_obj() is a slab object and
page->mem_cgroup is NULL, it means that the object is not accounted, so
the function must return NULL.

I've discovered the race looking at the code, so far I haven't seen it in
the wild.
