This macro causes issues with lines like:
for_each_subsys_which(ss, ssid, ~cgrp_dfl_root_inhibit_ss_mask)

In addition, there are a bunch of cgroup_* functions that use unsigned
ints for bitops (cgroup_calc_child_subsys_mask, rebind_subsystems,
cgroup_print_ss_mask). Is there a better solution to this problem, or
should I just switch back to my naive solution?
