Erhard reported that the 6.7-rc1 kernel panics on boot if being
built with clang-16. The problem was not reproducible with gcc.

[ 6.027000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b
Actually the problem is caused by uninitialized local variable in
current_obj_cgroup(). If the root memory cgroup is set as an active
memory cgroup for a charging scope (as in the trace, where systemd
tries to create the first non-root cgroup, so the parent cgroup is
the root cgroup), the "for" loop is skipped and uninitialized objcg is
returned, causing a panic down the accounting stack.
The fix is trivial: initialize the objcg variable to NULL
unconditionally before the "for" loop.
Fixes: e86828e5446d ("mm: kmem: scoped objcg protection")
