cgroup: initialize xattr before calling d_instantiate() cgroup_create_file() calls d_instantiate(), which may decide to look at the xattrs on the file. Smack always does this and SELinux can be configured to do so. But cgroup_add_file() didn't initialize xattrs before calling cgroup_create_file(), which finally leads to dereferencing NULL dentry->d_fsdata. This bug has been there since cgroup xattr was introduced.
