0a6b76dd23fa ("mm: workingset: make shadow node shrinker memcg aware")
has made the workingset shadow nodes shrinker memcg aware. The
implementation is not correct though because memcg_kmem_enabled() might
become true while we are doing a global reclaim when the sc->memcg might
be NULL which is exactly what Marek has seen:

This patch fixes the issue by checking sc->memcg rather than memcg_kmem_enabled()
which is sufficient because shrink_slab makes sure that only memcg aware shrinkers
will get non-NULL memcgs and only if memcg_kmem_enabled is true.
