cgroup: remove redundant variable in cgroup_mount()

Both pinned_sb and new_sb indicate if a new superblock is needed, so we can just remove new_sb. Note now we must check if kernfs_tryget_sb() returns NULL, because when it returns NULL, kernfs_mount() may still re-use an existing superblock, which is just allocated by another concurent mount.
