I think the kernfs_activate() call is for the cgroup1 mount of debug
cgroup which probably failed as I put debug in the cgroup_no_v1= option.
The RHEL7 system that I ran the test on tried to do v1-mount of all the
cgroup controllers available. I am also wondering how a v1-mount of
debug controller will make the controller files appear on cgroup2 root.
Maybe I miss something in the code.

My test kernel was built out of your latest cgroup git tree with the
thread mode patches on (review-cgroup2-threads-v3 branch).
As I said above, I put in the kernel command line option
"cgroup_no_v1=pids,debug,memory". Then I mounted the cgroup2 filesystem
after boot.
# mount -t cgroup2 cgroup2 /cgroup2
# ls /cgroup2/
cgroup.controllers cgroup.procs cgroup.subtree_control cgroup.threads
# echo +memory > /cgroup2/cgroup.subtree_control
# ls /cgroup2/
cgroup.controllers debug.current_css_set
cgroup.procs debug.current_css_set_cg_links
cgroup.subtree_control debug.current_css_set_refcount
cgroup.threads debug.masks
debug.csses debug.taskcount
debug.css_links
