The mem_cgroup_tree_per_node allocation might fail,
check that before continue the memcg init. Since it
is in the init phase, trigger the panic if that failure
happens.

We would blow up in the very same function so what is the point of the
explicit BUG_ON?

I think explicit BUG_ON may make the debug easier, since it can point
out the wrong line.

Does it? NULL ptr dereferencec 6 lines below sounds pretty close to me.
I am not nacking this patch I just think it doesn't add much. If others
think it will be useful I will not object.
