[PATCH v2 3/7] cgroup: restructure the failure path in cgroup_write_event_control()

From: Li Zefan
Date: Wed Jul 31 2013 - 21:51:59 EST


It uses a single label and checks the validity of each pointer. This
is err-prone, and actually we had a bug because one of the check was
insufficient.

Use multi lables as we do in other places.

v2:
- drop initializations of local variables.
