[PATCH v2 1/6] cgroup: initialize cgrp->dentry before css_alloc()

[Li Zefan <lizefan-hv44wF8Li93QT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

With this change, we're guaranteed that cgroup_path() won't see NULL
cgrp->dentry, and thus we can remove the NULL check in it.

(Well, it's not true, because dummptop.dentry is always NULL)
