memcg: rework mem_cgroup_iter to use cgroup iterators
mem_cgroup_iter curently relies on css->id when walking down a group hierarchy tree. This is really awkward because the tree walk depends on the groups creation ordering. The only guarantee is that a parent node is visited before its children. Example: 1) mkdir -p a a/d a/b/c 2) mkdir -a a/b/c a/d Will create the same trees but the tree walks will be different: 1) a, d, b, c 2) a, b, c, d Commit 574bd9f7 ("cgroup: implement generic child / descendant walk macros") has introduced generic cgroup tree walkers which provide either pre-order or post-order tree walk. This patch converts css->id based iteration to pre-order tree walk to keep the semantic with the original iterator where parent is always visited before its subtree. cgroup_for_each_descendant_pre suggests using post_create and pre_destroy for proper synchronization with groups addidition resp. removal. This implementation doesn't use those because a new memory cgroup is initialized sufficiently for iteration in mem_cgroup_css_alloc already and css reference counting enforces that the group is alive for both the last seen cgroup and the found one resp. it signals that the group is dead and it should be skipped. If the reclaim cookie is used we need to store the last visited group into the iterator so we have to be careful that it doesn't disappear in the mean time. Elevated reference count on the css keeps it alive even though the group have been removed (parked waiting for the last dput so that it can be freed). Per node-zone-prio iter_lock has been introduced to ensure that css_tryget and iter->last_visited is set atomically. Otherwise two racing walkers could both take a references and only one release it leading to a css leak (which pins cgroup dentry).
