cgroup: add cgroup->dummy_css
cgroup subsystem API is being converted to use css (cgroup_subsys_state) as the main handle, which makes things a bit awkward for subsystem agnostic core features - the "cgroup.*" interface files and various iterations - a bit awkward as they don't have a css to use. This patch adds cgroup->dummy_css which has NULL ->ss and whose only role is pointing back to the cgroup. This will be used to support subsystem agnostic features on the coming css based API. css_parent() is updated to handle dummy_css's. Note that css will soon grow its own ->parent field and css_parent() will be made trivial. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Li Zefan <lizefan@huawei.com>
