Thanks for fixing this!

The code looks correct to me, but this seems to report io statistics
only if at least one throttling limit is defined. IIRC with cgroup v1 it
was possible to see the io statistics inside a cgroup also with no
throttling limits configured.

Basically to restore the old behavior we would need to drop the
cgroup_subsys_on_dfl() check, something like the following (on top of
your patch).

But I'm not sure if we're breaking other behaviors in this way...
opinions?
