    cgroup/psi: Set of->priv to NULL upon file release

    Setting of->priv to NULL when the file is released enables earlier bug
    detection. This allows potential bugs to manifest as NULL pointer
    dereferences rather than use-after-free errors[1], which are generally more
    difficult to diagnose.
