Actually, this function isn't used at all. So I'd instead propose the
patch below.

Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: Drop task_cgroup_path()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The function has no current users and it is a remnant from kdbus
enthusiasm era 857a2beb09ab ("cgroup: implement
task_cgroup_path_from_hierarchy()"). Drop it to eliminate unused code.
