Thanks for the report. It was introduced by

e61734c55c24cdf11b07e52a74aec4dc4a7f4bd0 cgroup: remove cgroup->name

And It has been fixed by

cc045e3952175e84c38dad22dea14465b9fc8fb5 cgroup: deal with dummp_top in cgroup_name() and cgroup_path()

The fix has been in for-next fox about a week, so I'm curious why
you still hit this bug.
