From: Yang Shi <yang.shi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: vmscan: check if mem cgroup is disabled or not before calling memcg slab shrinker

Shakeel Butt reported premature oom on kernel with "cgroup_disable=memory"
since mem_cgroup_is_root() returns false even though memcg is actually
NULL.  The drop_caches is also broken.

It is because aeed1d325d42 ("mm/vmscan.c: generalize shrink_slab() calls
in shrink_node()") removed the !memcg check before !mem_cgroup_is_root(). 
And, surprisingly root memcg is allocated even though memory cgroup is
disabled by kernel boot parameter.

Add mem_cgroup_disabled() check to make reclaimer work as expected.
