Roman Gushchin 5f79489a73 mm: kmem: properly initialize local objcg variable in current_obj_cgroup()
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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
