page_cgroup_ino() doesn't return a valid memcg pointer for non-compound
slab pages, because it depends on PgHead AND PgSlab flags to be set
to determine the memory cgroup from the kmem_cache.
It's correct for compound pages, but not for generic small pages. Those
don't have PgHead set, so it ends up returning zero.

Fix this by replacing the condition to PageSlab() && !PageTail().

Before this patch:
[root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -c /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/user@0.service/ | grep slab
0x0000000000000080	        38        0  _______S___________________________________	slab

After this patch:
[root@localhost ~]# ./page-types -c /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-0.slice/user@0.service/ | grep slab
0x0000000000000080	       147        0  _______S___________________________________	slab

hwpoison_filter_task() uses output of page_cgroup_ino() in order to
filter error injection events based on memcg.
So if page_cgroup_ino() fails to return memcg pointer, we just fail
to inject memory error.  Considering that hwpoison filter is for testing,
affected users are limited and the impact should be marginal.

I think yes, because the patch is small enough and clearly fixes a bug.

Thanks,
