mm: memcg: fix use after free in mem_cgroup_iter()

It was reported that a kernel crash happened in mem_cgroup_iter(), which
can be triggered if the legacy cgroup-v1 non-hierarchical mode is used.

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6b6b6b6b8f

Call trace:
  mem_cgroup_iter+0x2e0/0x6d4
  shrink_zone+0x8c/0x324

  mem_cgroup_iter():
      ......
      if (css_tryget(css))    <-- crash here
	    break;
      ......

The crashing reason is that mem_cgroup_iter() uses the memcg object whose
pointer is stored in iter->position, which has been freed before and
filled with POISON_FREE(0x6b).

And the root cause of the use-after-free issue is that
invalidate_reclaim_iterators() fails to reset the value of iter->position
to NULL when the css of the memcg is released in non- hierarchical mode.
