mm: workingset: fix NULL ptr in count_shadow_nodes

Commit 0a6b76dd23fa ("mm: workingset: make shadow node shrinker memcg
aware") has made the workingset shadow nodes shrinker memcg aware.  The
implementation is not correct though because memcg_kmem_enabled() might
become true while we are doing a global reclaim when the sc->memcg might
be NULL which is exactly what Marek has seen:

This patch fixes the issue by checking sc->memcg rather than
memcg_kmem_enabled() which is sufficient because shrink_slab makes sure
that only memcg aware shrinkers will get non-NULL memcgs and only if
memcg_kmem_enabled is true.
