fork,memcg: alloc_thread_stack_node needs to set tsk->stack
Commit 5eed6f1dff87 ("fork,memcg: fix crash in free_thread_stack on memcg charge fail") corrected two instances, but there was a third instance of this bug. Without setting tsk->stack, if memcg_charge_kernel_stack fails, it'll execute free_thread_stack() on a dangling pointer. Enterprise kernels are compiled with VMAP_STACK=y so this isn't critical, but custom VMAP_STACK=n builds should have some performance advantage, with the drawback of risking to fail fork because compaction didn't succeed. So as long as VMAP_STACK=n is a supported option it's worth fixing it upstream.
