group is used uninitialized which leads to a random (most likely NULL)
pointer deref. Either we go:

				for (i = 0; i < csg_slot->group->queue_count; i++) {

and we move the group variable to the last for loop, so we're not
tempted to use it again in places where it's not initialized, or
we use the group variable consistently accross this function by having

		group = csg_slot->group;

assignments where csg_slot->group is currently used.

We might also want to consider splitting this huge function in
sub-functions, but probably not in a patch that's flagged for
backporting.
