[PATCH 1/1] cgroup: fix var may be used uninitialized warning

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

When building cgroup, GCC warns that the root variable
may be used uninitialized in the cgroup_mount function.

kernel/cgroup.c: In function âcgroup_mountâ:
kernel/cgroup.c:1886:13: warning: ârootâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
kernel/cgroup.c:1742:22: note: ârootâ was declared here

This can never happen because if the struct cgroup_root
can't be allocated, ret is set to -ENOMEM and the error
returned so the code using root is not reachable. But
set root to NULL just to silence the compiler warning.
