KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki ebb76ce16d memcg: fix wrong VM_BUG_ON() in try_charge()'s mm->owner check
At __mem_cgroup_try_charge(), VM_BUG_ON(!mm->owner) is checked.
But as commented in mem_cgroup_from_task(), mm->owner can be NULL
in some racy case. This check of VM_BUG_ON() is bad.

A possible story to hit this is at swapoff()->try_to_unuse(). It passes
mm_struct to mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin() while mm->owner is NULL. If we
can't get proper mem_cgroup from swap_cgroup information, mm->owner is used
as charge target and we see NULL.
