v4 cover memcg, cgroup: kill css_id

This patchset converts memcg to use cgroup->id, and then we can remove cgroup css_id.

As we've removed memcg's own refcnt, converting memcg to use cgroup->id is very straight-forward.

The patchset is based on Tejun's cgroup tree.

v4:
- make cgroup_from_id() inline and check if cgroup_mutex is held.
- add a comment for idr_remove() in cgroup_offline)fn().

v2->v3:
- some minor cleanups suggested by Michal.
- fixed the call to idr_alloc() in cgroup_init() in the first patch.

Li Zefan (8):
cgroup: convert cgroup_ida to cgroup_idr
cgroup: document how cgroup IDs are assigned
cgroup: implement cgroup_from_id()
memcg: convert to use cgroup_is_descendant()
memcg: convert to use cgroup id
memcg: fail to create cgroup if the cgroup id is too big
memcg: stop using css id
cgroup: kill css_id

PATCH v4 1/8 cgroup: convert cgroup_ida to cgroup_idr

This enables us to lookup a cgroup by its id.

v4:
- add a comment for idr_remove() in cgroup_offline_fn().

v3:
- on success, idr_alloc() returns the id but not 0, so fix the BUG_ON() in cgroup_init().
- pass the right value to idr_alloc() so that the id for dummy cgroup is 0.

PATCH v4 2/8 cgroup: document how cgroup IDs are assigned

In reply to Li Zefan

As cgroup id has been used in netprio cgroup and will be used in memcg, it's important to make it clear how a cgroup id is allocated.

For example, in netprio cgroup, the id is used as index of anarray.

PATCH v4 3/8 cgroup: implement cgroup_from_id()

In reply to Li Zefan

This will be used as a replacement for css_lookup().

There's a difference with cgroup id and css id. cgroup id starts with 0, while css id starts with 1.

v4:
- also check if cggroup_mutex is held.
- make it an inline function.

PATCH v4 5/8 memcg: convert to use cgroup id

In reply to Li Zefan

Use cgroup id instead of css id. This is a preparation to kill css id.

Note, as memcg treat 0 as an invalid id, while cgroup id starts with 0, we define memcg_id == cgroup_id + 1.
