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.
