Subject: [PATCH -mm 2/3] cgroup: simplify init_subsys()

We are at system boot and there is only 1 cgroup group (i,e,
init_css_set), so we don't need to run through the css_set
linked list. Neither do we need to run through the task list,
since the init process hasn't been created yet.

Also referring to a comment in cgroup.h:

struct css_set
{
	...
	/*
	 * Set of subsystem states, one for each subsystem. This array
	 * is immutable after creation apart from the init_css_set
	 * during subsystem registration (at boot time).
	 */
	struct cgroup_subsys_state *subsys[CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT];
}
