Hi Dan!

Thank you for the report!
The fix is below.

Subject: [PATCH] kselftest/cgroup: fix variable dereferenced before check
 warning

cg_name(const char *root, const char *name) is always called with
non-empty root and name arguments, so there is no sense in checking
it in the function body (after using in strlen()).
