Odin Ugedal e72a65802a cgroup: fix psi monitor for root cgroup
commit 385aac1519 upstream.

Fix NULL pointer dereference when adding new psi monitor to the root
cgroup. PSI files for root cgroup was introduced in df5ba5be74 by using
system wide psi struct when reading, but file write/monitor was not
properly fixed. Since the PSI config for the root cgroup isn't
initialized, the current implementation tries to lock a NULL ptr,
resulting in a crash.

Can be triggered by running this as root:
$ tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.pressure <<< "some 10000 1000000"

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
