Subject: memrlimit-setup-the-memrlimit-controller-mm_owner-fix
From: Balbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com> and
      Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>

This patch allows mm->owner to be NULL when mm_owner callback is called.
Without this patch, (for example) you can see panic while you do migrate
a set of task, which calls fork/exit.
