The linux-next commit "mm: rework non-root kmem_cache lifecycle management" [1] introduced an use-after-free below because kmemcg_workfn() may call slab_kmem_cache_release() which has already freed the whole kmem_cache. Fix it by removing the bogus NULL assignment and checkings that will not work with SLUB_DEBUG poisoning anyway.
