mm/cgroup: avoid panic when init with low memory

The system may panic when initialisation is done when almost all the
memory is assigned to the huge pages using the kernel command line
parameter hugepage=xxxx.  Panic may occur like this:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000
  Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000302b88
  Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
  SMP NR_CPUS=2048 [    0.082424] NUMA

This is a chicken and egg issue where the kernel try to get free memory
when allocating per node data in mem_cgroup_init(), but in that path
mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() is called which assumes that these data
are allocated.

As mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() is best effort, it should return when
these data are not yet allocated.

This patch also fixes potential null pointer access in
mem_cgroup_remove_from_trees() and mem_cgroup_update_tree().
