Subject: [PATCHSET cgroup/for-3.12] cgroup: factor out css creation into create_css()

Hello,

For unified hierarchy, a css's (cgroup_subsys_state) lifetime will be
different from that of the associated cgroup.  css's may be created
and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a single cgroup.  The
previous changes decoupled css destruction from cgroup's.  This
patchset decouples css creation from cgroup's.

This patchset contains the following nine patches.

 0001-cgroup-fix-css-leaks-on-online_css-failure.patch
 0002-cgroup-css-iterations-and-css_from_dir-are-safe-unde.patch
 0003-cgroup-make-for_each_subsys-useable-under-cgroup_roo.patch
 0004-cgroup-move-css_id-commit-from-cgroup_populate_dir-t.patch
 0005-cgroup-reorder-operations-in-cgroup_create.patch
 0006-cgroup-combine-css-handling-loops-in-cgroup_create.patch
 0007-cgroup-factor-out-cgroup_subsys_state-creation-into-.patch
 0008-cgroup-implement-for_each_css.patch
 0009-cgroup-remove-for_each_root_subsys.patch

0001 is a fix for an existing leak issue in the creation error
handling path.

0002-0004 are prep patches.  Note that 0004 will conflict with css_id
removal patch.

0005-0007 collect css creation operations into single loop and factor
it out into create_css().

0008-0009 are somewhat tangential.  As everything is css based now and
the enabled set of css's might be differ depending on the specific
cgroup in the future, they introduce for_each_css() and replace most
uses of for_each_root_subsys() with it.  The two left overs are
opencoded and for_each_root_subsys() and the related logic are
removed.

This patchset shouldn't bring any userland noticeable behavior
changes.  It's on top of cgroup/for-3.12 d1625964da ("cgroup: fix
cgroup_css() invocation in css_from_id()") and available in the
following git branch.

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git review-create_css

diffstat follows.
