I'm sorry if I misunderstand ... current usage of css-id in memory/swap cgroup
is for recording information of memory cgroup which may be destroyed. In some case,
a memcg's cgroup is freed but a struct memcgroup and its css are available, swap_cgroup
may contain id ot if.
This patch puts cgroup's id at diput(), so, the id used in swap_cgroup can be
reused while it's in use. Right ?

Thanks,
