[PATCH v3 2/8] mm: memcontrol: bail out early when !mm in get_mem_cgroup_from_mm

[Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com>]

When mm is NULL, we do not need to hold rcu lock and call css_tryget for
the root memcg. And we also do not need to check !mm in every loop of
while. So bail out early when !mm.
