memcg: only record foreign writebacks with dirty pages when memcg is not disabled

In kdump kernel, memcg usually is disabled with 'cgroup_disable=memory'
for saving memory.  Now kdump kernel will always panic when dump vmcore
to local disk:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000ab8
  Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
  CPU: 0 PID: 598 Comm: makedumpfile Not tainted 5.3.0+ #26
  Hardware name: HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10/ProLiant DL385 Gen10, BIOS A40 10/02/2018

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

And this will corrupt the 1st kernel too with 'cgroup_disable=memory'.

Via the trace and with debugging, it is pointing to commit 97b27821b485
("writeback, memcg: Implement foreign dirty flushing") which introduced
this regression.  Disabling memcg causes the null pointer dereference at
uninitialized data in function mem_cgroup_track_foreign_dirty_slowpath().

Fix it by returning directly if memcg is disabled, but not trying to
record the foreign writebacks with dirty pages.
