When building cgroup, GCC warns that the root variable
may be used uninitialized in the cgroup_mount function.
kernel/cgroup.c: In function ‘cgroup_mount’:
kernel/cgroup.c:1886:13: warning: ‘root’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
kernel/cgroup.c:1742:22: note: ‘root’ 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.
