mem_cgroup_oom() passes an uninitialized "locked" to memcg1_oom_prepare()
and reads it back in memcg1_oom_finish():

bool locked, ret;
...
if (!memcg1_oom_prepare(memcg, &locked))
return false;
ret = mem_cgroup_out_of_memory(memcg, mask, order);
memcg1_oom_finish(memcg, locked);

This relies on memcg1_oom_prepare() setting *locked whenever it returns
true.  The CONFIG_MEMCG_V1=y version does, but the stub used when
CONFIG_MEMCG_V1=n returns true without touching *locked, so
memcg1_oom_finish() consumes an uninitialized value.  On a memcg OOM this
is reported by UBSAN:

  UBSAN: invalid-load in mm/memcontrol.c:1932:27
  load of value 0 is not a valid value for type 'bool' (aka '_Bool')

Initialize *locked to false in the stub; with cgroup v1 compiled out there
is no OOM lock to take.
