[PATCH 10/17] cgroup: fix harmless bugs in cgroup_load_subsys() fail path and cgroup_unload_subsys()

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Mon Nov 12 2012 - 22:04:21 EST


* If idr init fails, cgroup_load_subsys() cleared dummytop->subsys[]
before calilng ->destroy() making CSS inaccessible to the callback,
and didn't unlink ss->sibling. As no modular controller uses
->use_id, this doesn't cause any actual problems.

* cgroup_unload_subsys() was forgetting to free idr, call
->pre_destroy() and clear ->active. As there currently is no
modular controller which uses ->use_id, ->pre_destroy() or ->active,
this doesn't cause any actual problems.
