Subject: fork,memcg: fix crash in free_thread_stack on memcg charge fail
Changeset 9b6f7e163cd0 ("mm: rework memcg kernel stack accounting")
will result in fork failing if allocating a kernel stack for a task
in dup_task_struct exceeds the kernel memory allowance for that cgroup.
Unfortunately, it also results in a crash.
This is due to the code jumping to free_stack and calling free_thread_stack
when the memcg kernel stack charge fails, but without tsk->stack pointing
at the freshly allocated stack.
This in turn results in the vfree_atomic in free_thread_stack oopsing
with a backtrace like this:

The simplest fix is to assign tsk->stack right where it is allocated.
