mm: zswap: fix shrinker NULL crash with cgroup_disable=memory 

Christian reports a NULL deref in zswap that he bisected down to the zswap
shrinker.  The issue also cropped up in the bug trackers of libguestfs [1]
and the Red Hat bugzilla [2].

The problem is that when memcg is disabled with the boot time flag, the
zswap shrinker might get called with sc->memcg == NULL.  This is okay in
many places, like the lruvec operations.  But it crashes in
memcg_page_state() - which is only used due to the non-node accounting of
cgroup's the zswap memory to begin with.

Nhat spotted that the memcg can be NULL in the memcg-disabled case, and I
was then able to reproduce the crash locally as well.
