Good catch, Hao.

Perhaps the code be then simplified a bit

Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: cgroup.{procs,threads} factor out common parts
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The functions cgroup_threads_start and cgroup_procs_start are almost
identical. In order to reduce duplication, factor out the common code in
similar fashion we already do for other threadgroup/task functions. No
functional changes are intended.
