The patch titled
mm_owner: fix cgroup null dereference
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-owner-fix-race-between-swap-and-exit-fix.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm_owner: fix cgroup null dereference
From: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@xxxxxxxxx>
mm->owner is set to NULL prior to calling cgroup_mm_owner_callbacks, but
it should be set after that to not pass NULL pointer as the old owner
which otherwise results in an oops (shortened):
