mm: vmscan: check if mem cgroup is disabled or not before calling memcg slab shrinker
Shakeel Butt reported premature oom on kernel with "cgroup_disable=memory" since mem_cgroup_is_root() returns false even though memcg is actually NULL. The drop_caches is also broken. It is because commit aeed1d325d42 ("mm/vmscan.c: generalize shrink_slab() calls in shrink_node()") removed the !memcg check before !mem_cgroup_is_root(). And, surprisingly root memcg is allocated even though memory cgroup is disabled by kernel boot parameter. Add mem_cgroup_disabled() check to make reclaimer work as expected.
