4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@xxxxxxxxxx> commit ba4a45746c362b665e245c50b870615f02f34781 upstream. Commit 5eed6f1dff87 ("fork,memcg: fix crash in free_thread_stack on memcg charge fail") fixes a crash caused due to failed memcg charge of the kernel stack. However the fix misses the cached_stacks case which this patch fixes. So, the same crash can happen if the memcg charge of a cached stack is failed.
