lookup_page_cgroup() is usually used only against pages that are used in userspace. The exception is the CONFIG_DEBUG_VM-only memcg check from the page allocator: it can run on pages without page_cgroup descriptors allocated when the pages are fed into the page allocator for the first time during boot or memory hotplug. Include the array check only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is set and save the unnecessary check in production kernels.
