Naresh, can you, please, check if the following patch resolves the issue?
(completely untested except for building)

Subject: [PATCH] mm: kmem: make mem_cgroup_from_obj() vmalloc()-safe

Currently mem_cgroup_from_obj() is not working properly with objects
allocated using vmalloc(). It creates problems in some cases, when
it's called for static objects belonging to  modules or generally
allocated using vmalloc().

This patch makes mem_cgroup_from_obj() safe to be called on objects
allocated using vmalloc().

It also introduces mem_cgroup_from_slab_obj(), which is a faster
version to use in places when we know the object is either a slab
object or a generic slab page (e.g. when adding an object to a lru
list).
