cg_control() returns a path allocated with malloc(). The two callers
that pass it straight to inotify_add_watch() never free it, and pass
NULL to it if the allocation fails.

Keep the path in a local variable, check it, and free it when done.

Fixes: 5313bfe425c8a ("kselftests: cgroup: add freezer controller self-tests")
Fixes: 2de27980e1d46 ("selftests: memcg: Add tests for IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_IGNORED")
