Should skel be initialized to NULL here? The other tests in this file
(test_memcg_ops_over_high, test_memcg_ops_below_low_over_high, and
test_memcg_ops_below_min_over_high) all initialize their skeleton pointers
to NULL.

If any of the early checks fail (e.g. setup_cgroup_environment() or
create_and_get_cgroup()), the code jumps to cleanup where memcg_ops__detach()
is called. The skeleton __detach() function dereferences its argument without
checking for NULL, which would cause a crash with an uninitialized pointer.

This dereferences skel without checking if it was ever assigned.
