I don't think there is a bug with current 'curent_css_set'. The
"current" in all debug.current_xxx interfaces means "current task".

Besides we already print out a cgroup's css links through
debug.cgroup_css_links, without showing the refcount of
each css_set, but we can, if it can be useful:

  # cat debug.cgroup_css_links
  css_set c10d92e0
