cgroup: make hierarchy iterators deal with cgroup_subsys_state instead of cgroup
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.
