Subject: cgroups: fix potential nullderef
X-Git-Tag: lxc-3.2.0~103^2

cgroups: fix potential nullderef

The child_path variable is initialized very late in the function so jumping to
the on_error label would cause a nullderef. With the cleanup macros we can
simplify this function to simply do direct returns and avoid that whole issue.

Closes #2935.
