I can't usefully review this, but kernfs_make_root and
kernfs_obtain_root aren't the same string...

I don't like this implicit stuff.  Can you just return -EINVAL if sane
behavior isn't requested?

This looks wrong.  But, if you make the change above, then it'll be right.

Why is this necessary?

Aargh, another one!  Eric, can you either ack or nack my patch?
Because if my patch goes in, then this line may need to change.  Or
not, but if a stable release with cgroupfs and without my patch
happens, then we'll have an ABI break.
