memcg: fix swapcache charge from kernel thread context

284f39afeaa4 (mm: memcg: push !mm handling out to page cache charge
function) explicitly checks for page cache charges without any mm context
(from kernel thread context[1]).

This seemed to be the only possible case where memory could be charged
without mm context so 03583f1a631c (memcg: remove unnecessary !mm check
from try_get_mem_cgroup_from_mm()) removed the mm check from
get_mem_cgroup_from_mm.  This however caused another NULL ptr dereference
during early boot when loopback kernel thread splices to tmpfs as reported
by Stephan Kulow:

This patch fixes the issue by reintroducing mm check into
get_mem_cgroup_from_mm.  We could do the same trick in
__mem_cgroup_try_charge_swapin as we do for the regular page cache path
but it is not worth troubles.  The check is not that expensive and it is
better to have get_mem_cgroup_from_mm more robust.
