This is not a proper fix because uncharge_gather_clear is called also to
initialize the initial state so ug->memcg would be a garbage from the
stack. The proper fix with the full changelog should be. Let's add more
people involved in the original commit to the CC. The initial report is

1a3e1f40962c ("mm: memcontrol: decouple reference counting from page
accounting") has reworked the memcg lifetime to be bound the the struct
page rather than charges. It has also removed the css_put_many from
uncharge_batch and that is causing the above splat. uncharge_batch is
supposed to uncharge accumulated charges for all pages freed from the
same memcg. The queuing is done by uncharge_page which however drops the
memcg reference after it adds charges to the batch. If the current page
happens to be the last one holding the reference for its memcg then the
memcg is OK to go and the next page to be freed will trigger batched
uncharge which needs to access the memcg which is gone already.

Fix the issue by taking a reference for the memcg in the current batch.
