One eventfd monitors multiple memory thresholds of cgroup, closing it, the
system will delete related events. Before all events are deleted, another
eventfd monitors the cgroup's memory threshold.
As a result, thresholds->primary[] is not empty, but thresholds->sparse[]
is NULL, __mem_cgroup_usage_unregister_event() leading to a crash:

The solution is to check whether the thresholds associated with the eventfd
has been cleared when deleting the event. If so, we do nothing.
