[PATCH 14/14] cgroup: implement css_tryget()

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Fri May 09 2014 - 17:32:09 EST


Implement css_tryget() which tries to grab a cgroup_subsys_state's
reference as long as it already hasn't reached zero. Combined with
the recent css iterator changes to include offline && !released csses
during traversal, this can be used to access csses regardless of its
online state.
