Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 045c47ca30 blk-throttle: check stats_cpu before reading it from sysfs
When reading blkio.throttle.io_serviced in a recently created blkio
cgroup, it's possible to race against the creation of a throttle policy,
which delays the allocation of stats_cpu.

Like other functions in the throttle code, just checking for a NULL
stats_cpu prevents the following oops caused by that race.

And here is one code that allows to easily reproduce this, although this
has first been found by running docker.

void run(pid_t pid)
{
	int n;
	int status;
	int fd;
	char *buffer;
	buffer = memalign(BUFFER_ALIGN, BUFFER_SIZE);
	n = snprintf(buffer, BUFFER_SIZE, "%d\n", pid);
	fd = open(CGPATH "/test/tasks", O_WRONLY);
	write(fd, buffer, n);
	close(fd);
	if (fork() > 0) {
		fd = open("/dev/sda", O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT);
		read(fd, buffer, 512);
		close(fd);
		wait(&status);
	} else {
		fd = open(CGPATH "/test/blkio.throttle.io_serviced", O_RDONLY);
		n = read(fd, buffer, BUFFER_SIZE);
		close(fd);
	}
	free(buffer);
	exit(0);
}

void test(void)
{
	int status;
	mkdir(CGPATH "/test", 0666);
	if (fork() > 0)
		wait(&status);
	else
		run(getpid());
	rmdir(CGPATH "/test");
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	int i;
	for (i = 0; i < NR_TESTS; i++)
		test();
	return 0;
}
