Subject: uprobes: Fix the memcg accounting
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 6c4687cc17a788a6dd8de3e27dbeabb7cbd3e066 upstream.
__replace_page() wronlgy calls mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() in "success" path,
it should only do this if page_check_address() fails.
This means that every enable/disable leads to unbalanced mem_cgroup_uncharge()
from put_page(old_page), it is trivial to underflow the page_counter->count
and trigger OOM.
