mem_cgroup_within_guarantee() oopses in _raw_spin_lock_irqsave() when booted with cgroup_disable=memory. Fix that in the obvious inelegant way for now - though I hope we are moving towards a world in which almost all of the mem_cgroup_disabled() tests will vanish, with a root_mem_cgroup which can handle the basics even when disabled. I bet there's a neater way of doing this, rearranging the loop (and we shall want to avoid spinlocking on root_mem_cgroup when we reach that new world), but that's the kind of thing I'd get wrong in a hurry!
