Subject: [PATCH v2][next] cgroup: Avoid -Wstringop-overflow warnings
Change the notation from pointer-to-array to pointer-to-pointer.
With this, we avoid the compiler complaining about trying
to access a region of size zero as an argument during function
calls.
Address the following -Wstringop-overflow warnings seen when
built with ARM architecture and aspeed_g4_defconfig configuration
(notice that under this configuration CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT == 0):
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:1208:16: warning: 'find_existing_css_set' accessing 4 bytes in a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:1258:15: warning: 'css_set_hash' accessing 4 bytes in a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:6089:18: warning: 'css_set_hash' accessing 4 bytes in a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c:6153:18: warning: 'css_set_hash' accessing 4 bytes in a region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
This results in no differences in binary output.
