[PATCH 7/7] memcg : remove ugly vairable initialization by callers

[KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki]

This is a promised one.
==
From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch is for removing initialization in caller of memory cgroup
function. Some memory cgroup uses following style to bring the result
of start function to the end function for avoiding races.

   mem_cgroup_start_A(&(*ptr))
   /* Something very complicated can happen here. */
   mem_cgroup_end_A(*ptr)

In some calls, *ptr should be initialized to NULL be caller. But
it's ugly. This patch fixes that *ptr is initialized by _start
function.
