cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using css
(cgroup_subsys_state) as the primary handle instead of cgroup in
subsystem API.  For hierarchy iterators, this is beneficial because

* In most cases, css is the only thing subsystems care about anyway.

* On the planned unified hierarchy, iterations for different
  subsystems will need to skip over different subtrees of the
  hierarchy depending on which subsystems are enabled on each cgroup.
  Passing around css makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the
  subsystem in question as css is intersection between cgroup and
  subsystem

* For the planned unified hierarchy, css's would need to be created
  and destroyed dynamically independent from cgroup hierarchy.  Having
  cgroup core manage css iteration makes enforcing deref rules a lot
  easier.

Most subsystem conversions are straight-forward.  Noteworthy changes
are

* blkio: cgroup_to_blkcg() is no longer used.  Removed.

* freezer: cgroup_freezer() is no longer used.  Removed.

* devices: cgroup_to_devcgroup() is no longer used.  Removed.

There are several places where the children list is accessed directly.
This patch converts those places to use cgroup_next_child().  This
will help updating the hierarchy iterators to use @css instead of
@cgrp.

While cgroup_next_child() can be heavy in pathological cases - e.g. a
lot of dead children, this shouldn't cause any noticeable behavior
differences.

cgroup is transitioning to using css (cgroup_subsys_state) as the main
subsys interface handle instead of cgroup and the iterators will be
updated to use css too.  The iterators need to walk the cgroup
hierarchy and return the css's matching the origin css, which is a bit
cumbersome to open code.

This patch converts cgroup_next_sibling() to cgroup_next_child() so
that it can handle all steps of direct child iteration.  This will be
used to update iterators to take @css instead of @cgrp.  In addition
to the new iteration init handling, cgroup_next_child() is
restructured so that the different branches share the end of iteration
condition check.

Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods

This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of

Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some

Previously, each file read/write operation relied on the inode

css refs drained between the DEAD check and actual method invocation.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup *
in subsystem implementations for the following reasons.

* With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and
  unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be
  created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup,
  which is different from the current state where all css's are
  allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup.  This
  in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may
  return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use.

* Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified
  hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave
  differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is
  being performed for.

* In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the
  cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's.  Subsystem methods
  often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't
  bother with the cgroup pointer itself.  Passing around css fits
  much better.

This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of
@cgroup.  The conversions are mostly straight-forward.  A few
noteworthy changes are

* ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the
  pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't
  exist yet.  Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing
  subsystems.

* In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css
  dereference is replaced with local variable access.

This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced
    with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan.

    Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so
    that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12ca ("cgroup: fix a
    leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too.  Suggested

Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy
to find the parent of a given css.  cgroup is moving towards using
cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so
let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses.

This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its
parent.  The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as
long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy.

freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices
are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent
directly.

* __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with
  parent_ca().  The only difference between the two was NULL test on
  cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the
  distinction moot.  Note that eventually a css->parent field will be
  added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away.

css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific
data structure.  Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast
from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping
such cast.  As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main
interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with
css's.

All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those
cases.  While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all
controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the
casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially
optimize out the branch.

* blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such
  accessor.  Added.

* memory, hugetlb and devices already had one but didn't explicitly
  handle NULL input.  Updated.

Module ref handling in cgroup is rather weird.
parse_cgroupfs_options() grabs all the modules for the specified
subsystems.  A module ref is kept if the specified subsystem is newly
bound to the hierarchy.  If not, or the operation fails, the refs are
dropped.  This scatters module ref handling across multiple functions
making it difficult to track.  It also make the function nasty to use
for dynamic subsystem binding which is necessary for the planned
unified hierarchy.

There's nothing which requires the subsystem modules to be pinned
between parse_cgroupfs_options() and rebind_subsystems() in both mount
and remount paths.  parse_cgroupfs_options() can just parse and
rebind_subsystems() can handle pinning the subsystems that it wants to
bind, which is a natural part of its task - binding - anyway.

Move module ref handling into rebind_subsystems() which makes the code
a lot simpler - modules are gotten iff it's gonna be bound and put iff
unbound or binding fails.

v2: Li pointed out that if a controller module is unloaded between
    parsing and binding, rebind_subsystems() won't notice the missing
    controller as it only iterates through existing controllers.  Fix

    @pinned and fail with -ENOENT if they don't match.

Currently, creating and removing cgroup files in the root directory
are handled separately from the actual subsystem binding and unbinding
which happens in rebind_subsystems().  Also, rebind_subsystems() users
aren't handling file creation errors properly.  Let's integrate
top_cgroup file handling into rebind_subsystems() so that it's simpler
to use and everyone handles file creation errors correctly.

* On a successful return, rebind_subsystems() is guaranteed to have
  created all files of the new subsystems and deleted the ones
  belonging to the removed subsystems.  After a failure, no file is
  created or removed.

* cgroup_remount() no longer needs to make explicit populate/clear
  calls as it's all handled by rebind_subsystems(), and it gets proper
  error handling automatically.

* cgroup_mount() has been updated such that the root dentry and cgroup
  are linked before rebind_subsystems().  Also, the init_cred dancing
  and base file handling are moved right above rebind_subsystems()
  call and proper error handling for the base files is added.  While
  at it, add a comment explaining what's going on with the cred thing.

* cgroup_kill_sb() calls rebind_subsystems() to unbind all subsystems
  which now implies removing all subsystem files which requires the
  directory's i_mutex.  Grab it.  This means that files on the root
  cgroup are removed earlier - they used to be deleted from generic
  super_block cleanup from vfs.  This doesn't lead to any functional
  difference and it's cleaner to do the clean up explicitly for all
  files.

Combined with the previous changes, this makes all cgroup file
creation errors handled correctly.

Pull core block IO updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Here are the core IO block bits for 3.11. It contains:

   - A tweak to the reserved tag logic from Jan, for weirdo devices with
     just 3 free tags.  But for those it improves things substantially
     for random writes.

   - Periodic writeback fix from Jan.  Marked for stable as well.

   - Fix for a race condition in IO scheduler switching from Jianpeng.

   - The hierarchical blk-cgroup support from Tejun.  This is the grunt
     of the series.

   - blk-throttle fix from Vivek.

  Just a note that I'm in the middle of a relocation, whole family is
  flying out tomorrow.  Hence I will be awal the remainder of this week,
  but back at work again on Monday the 15th.  CC'ing Tejun, since any
  potential "surprises" will most likely be from the blk-cgroup work.
  But it's been brewing for a while and sitting in my tree and
  linux-next for a long time, so should be solid."
