Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcg: fix NULL pointer in
mem_cgroup_track_foreign_dirty_slowpath()
As commit 18365225f044 ("hwpoison, memcg: forcibly uncharge LRU pages"), hwpoison will forcibly uncharg a LRU hwpoisoned page, the folio_memcg could be NULl, then, mem_cgroup_track_foreign_dirty_slowpath() could occurs a NULL pointer dereference, let's do not record the foreign writebacks for folio memcg is null in mem_cgroup_track_foreign_dirty() to fix it.
