The call that initializes kargs->cset is find_css_set() and it is the last call in cgroup_css_set_fork(). If find_css_set() fails kargs->cset is NULL and we go to the cleanup path where we check that kargs->cset is non-NULL and if it is we call put_css_set(kargs->cset). But it'll always be NULL so put_css_set(kargs->cset) is never hit. Remove it.
