cgroup: use css_get() in cgroup_create() to check CSS_ROOT
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It seems that the root css doesn't have refcnt allocated(not needed?),
and would cause the booting error attached.

This patch tries to use css_get() to not increase the refcnt if parent
is root.

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
