[PATCH cgroup/for-3.14] cgroup: fix fail path in cgroup_load_subsys()

From: Vladimir Davydov
Date: Thu Dec 12 2013 - 14:17:21 EST


Calling cgroup_unload_subsys() from cgroup_load_subsys() after
online_css() failure will result in a NULL ptr dereference on attempt to
offline_css(), because online_css() only assigns css to cgroup on
success. Let's fix that by skipping calls to offline_css() and
css_free() in cgroup_unload_subsys() if there is no css, and freeing css
in cgroup_load_subsys() on online_css() failure.
