v5.13-rc1 sometimes causes NULL pointer dereference during kdump, where
memcg is disabled with "cgroup_disable=memory" boot option.
I haven't seen this problem with v5.12, so it looks like regression.

0xffffffff9d094945 <do_shrink_slab+0x85>: xchg %rdx,(%rcx,%rax,8)
The NULL dereference occurred at here in in-lined xchg_nr_deferred():
return atomic_long_xchg(&shrinker->nr_deferred[nid], 0);
that means "shrinker->nr_deferred" was NULL.
Though I haven't fully bisected between v5.12 and v5.13-rc1, I can reproduce
the problem with this commit:
476b30a0949a mm: vmscan: don't need allocate shrinker->nr_deferred for memcg aware shrinkers
but not with this previous commit:
867508304685 mm: vmscan: use per memcg nr_deferred of shrinker
With the commit 476b30a0949a, if a memcg-aware shrinker is registered before
cgroup_init(), shrinker->nr_deferred is NULL. However xchg_nr_deferred()
tries to use it as memcg is turned off via "cgroup_disable=memory".
Any thoughts?
